Which value of x will make the equation below true? 3x = 243
Which value of x will make the equation below true? 3x = 243
Explanation
3^x =243
3^x=3×3×3×3×3
3 ^x =3^5
Since bases are the same, we can equate the powers,
∴x=5
3^x =243
3^x=3×3×3×3×3
3 ^x =3^5
Since bases are the same, we can equate the powers,
∴x=5
