If log2(3x - 1) = 5, find x.
Answer Details
We are given that log2(3x - 1) = 5. Using the definition of logarithms, we know that 25 = 32 is equal to the expression inside the logarithm. That is, 3x - 1 = 32 Adding 1 to both sides, we get 3x = 33 Dividing by 3, we get x = 11 Therefore, the value of x is 11. Answer: 11.
