Solution
The equation shown in the image is:
Let’s solve it step by step.
Step 1: Simplify
Using the property of logarithms: we can simplify to , which is approximately (since ).
Thus, the equation becomes:
Step 2: Solve for
We now have: Divide both sides by : So we have: Take the logarithm of both sides: Since , we get: Solve for : Thus, .
Solution:
The solution to the equation is .
