How to find x if 11^(2x+1)=13.

The equation 11^(2x+1)=13 has to be solved for
x.


11^(2x+1)=13


Take the
logarithm of both the sides


`log(11^(2x+1))= log
13`


Use the property of logarithm `log a^b = b*log
a`


`(2x +1)*log 11 = log
13`


Isolate x to one of the
sides


`2x + 1 = (log 13)/(log
11)`


`2x = (log 13)/(log 11) -
1`


`x = ((log 13)/(log 11) -
1)/2`


The solution of the given equation is x = `((log
13)/(log 11) - 1)/2`
