you are asked to solve for equis a logarithm is a "sentence about exponents"

this sentence says, "the power that you raise three to in order to get x, is two"
3x = 2
you can see that he is trapped in a log cabin
3x = 2
how do we escape the log cabin?
3x???
!!!
= 2
log hat!
3x = 2
force whoever has the variable captive to wear the entire log cabin like a hat ...
3x = 2
... and do that on both sides
3 x3 = 32
that frees equis on the left
3 3x = 32
use a computron to calculate three squared
3log3(x) x = 32 =9
looks like this is the end!
x = 9
