Step-by-step solution
5 stepsWrite down the given equation.
The equation is .
(Assuming 'a' is the argument for the logarithms on the left side, and is a typo for ).Combine the terms on the left side of the equation.
Using the property :
Apply the power rule of logarithms, .
Equate the arguments of the logarithms.
Since the bases of the logarithms are the same, their arguments must be equal:
Solve for .
Take the square root of both sides:
Since the base of a logarithm must be positive, we take the positive root:
The final answer is 8.
