How to solve the equation 13^(3x-1)=15?the result is expected to have up to 4 decimals

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.
