To solve for x, we'll have to take natural logarithms both
sides:
ln 13^(3x-1) = ln
15
We'll use the power rule of
logarithms:
(3x-1)*ln 13 = ln
15
We'll divide by ln 13 both sides of the
equation:
(3x-1) = ln 15 /ln
13
We'll add 1 both sides:
3x
= ln 15 /ln 13 + 1
We'll divide by
3:
x = (ln 15 /ln 13 + 1)/3
x
= (ln 15 + ln 13)/3*ln 13
x = ln (15*13)/ln
13^3
We'll evaluate the numerator of the
fraction:
ln (15*13) =
5.2729
We'll evaluate the denominator of the
fraction:
ln 13^3 = 7.6948
x =
5.2729/7.6948
x =
0.6852
The requested soution of the equation,
rounded up to 4 decimals, is x = 0.6852.
