How do you solve for x in #a^2x+b^2x+7=3c#?

Hopefully this helps!

To solve for ( x ) in the equation ( a^{2x} + b^{2x} + 7 = 3c ), you can use logarithms. Take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponential terms. Then, solve for ( x ). Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Start with the equation: ( a^{2x} + b^{2x} + 7 = 3c )
2. Take the natural logarithm of both sides: ( \ln(a^{2x} + b^{2x} + 7) = \ln(3c) )
3. Apply the properties of logarithms to simplify the equation: ( \ln(a^{2x} + b^{2x} + 7) = \ln(3c) )
   • Use the property ( \ln(a^b) = b \ln(a) ): ( 2x \ln(a) + 2x \ln(b) + \ln(7) = \ln(3c) )
4. Factor out ( 2x ) from the terms containing it: ( 2x(\ln(a) + \ln(b)) + \ln(7) = \ln(3c) )
5. Subtract ( \ln(7) ) from both sides: ( 2x(\ln(a) + \ln(b)) = \ln(3c) - \ln(7) )
6. Divide both sides by ( 2(\ln(a) + \ln(b)) ): ( x = \frac{\ln(3c) - \ln(7)}{2(\ln(a) + \ln(b))} )

So, the solution for ( x ) is ( x = \frac{\ln(3c) - \ln(7)}{2(\ln(a) + \ln(b))} ).
