To expand it, you use change of base to get log(96)/log(2/3). When dividing a logarithm, of course, you subtract the log of the denominator from the log of the numerator, which gives log(96)/(log2-log3). We can take the prime factors of 96: 3 and 2⁵, to get log(3•2⁵)/(log2-log3). With multiplication of logarithms, you add the logs of the multiplicands, so (log3 + log(2⁵))/(log2-log3). Finally, with exponentiation, you multiply the logarithm of the base by the exponent, which gives (log3 + 5log2)/(log2-log3).
I should have used ln rather than log, but I'm so used to using log for change of base that I just did that by default. It works the same either way (:
you can just use laws off exponents bcuz that seems easier. then you log it at the end for answer turn 2^(x-5) into 2^x*2^-5 and turn 3^(x+1) into 3^x*3. an example of this is (3^2)*(3^2)=3^4 expand into 1/32(2^x)=3(3^x) do some division to isolate x as much as possible. 3/(1/32) = 96 or (1/32) = 1/96. End up with 2^x=96(3^x) or 1/96(2^x)=3^x x root everything. 2=xroot(96)*3 or xroot(1/96)*2=3 more division to isolate x. 2/3=xroot(96) or 3/2=xroot(1/96) put everything to the x power. (2/3)^x=96 or (3/2)^x=1/96 now log bcuz inverse of exponential to finnaly actually isolate x. log(base(2/3)) of 96 = x or log(base(3/2)) of 1/96 = x x= ~-11.25

7:18 this entirely depends on the calculator. I have one that has an ln key, a log key, & a key for log of any base. It’s a Casio fx-991 ES PLUS C for anyone wondering. It’s not programmable so it most likely will be allowed during test.
I Just Saw the Thumbnail And Thought " Ehhhh That looks Ez Lets Just Do It " Only to waste 30 mins And Find Out It Have Logarithm Which I Havent Studied😂
I solved it slightly different. I recognized that 3^(x+1) can be rewritten as [(1.5)(2)]^(x+1), which can be expanded as 1.5^(x+1) 2^(x+1). This is very helpful as it gives us an exponential of base 2 on both sides of the equation, which allows us to cancel out the x on the left side through exponent division rule. The full solution is below: 2^(x-5) = 3^(x+1) 2^(x-5) = [(1.5)(2)]^(x+1) 2^(x-5) = 1.5^(x+1) 2^(x+1) 2^(x-5)/2^(x+1) = 1.5^(x+1) 2^(-6) = 1.5^(x+1) Now we only have a single x variable to deal with, so we could simply apply log to both sides and isolate for x log[2^(-6)] = log[1.5^(x+1)] (log[2^(-6)]/log[1.5]) - 1 = x -11.257 = x
when i saw the thumbnail i guessed that since 2^(x-5) = 3^(x+5) we can do something like 2^(x-5) . 1/ 3^(x+5) then 2^(x-5) x (3^(x+5)) ^(-1) and go on i guess . Btw im in ninth grade so i have no clue about what ln is
the second option is always what comes to my mind first, i find it way easier and more intuitive, but ive forced myself doing the natural base method too cuz you have to know them both imo
I do the complete opposite: whenever I see an x as an exponent, I use ln, because the calculator can eventually solve any monstrosity I type in as long as there are numbers 😂 Bringing down the x is my number one priority 🫡
I actually learned this last unit. 2^x=5^(x+2) xln2=xln5+2ln5 xln2-xln5=2ln5 factor out x x(ln2-ln5)=2ln5 x=2ln5/(ln2-ln5) I’m not sure if there’s a better way to simplify it
I mean: (X-5)log2 = (x+1)log3 … -> x = (5log2 - log3)/(log2 - log3) is just way less complicated than the methods shown, at least this is the standard method in uk
I wasn't taught log at school at all. I had to look it up online. Even though we hadn't had proper knowledge about log we still have to use in calculus

guys we can solve it in another way too. what i did was this: i took log on both lhs and rhs. so the exponent comes down and the equation becomes like such (x-5)log 2=(x+1) log 3 now we know log 2= 0.3010 and log 3=0.477 so we just use those values in the equation (x-5)*0.3010=(x+1)*0.477 0.3010x-1.505=0.477x+0.477 this becomes -0.176x=1.982 x=1.982/-0.176 x=-11.26
@@CursiveThoughts, in this scenario, either 'ln' or 'log' is acceptable. This is because the bases of logarithms would get cancelled in the process as long as the bases are the same.
The same way I did it, but nobody ever seems to approve of logs in bases other than e or 10 for the "official" answers, even though the end result can look simpler. Maybe it dates back to the days of log books which almost always limited themselves to natural and base 10 logs.
I would consider simplify it with log to the base 10 which yields the same answer as the answer you obtained. We could write it as, X-5log(2)=X+1log(3) Which on further simplification can provide, x= -6.58/0.58= -11.3 And the answer you obtained at the end, log (base)2/3 (96)= -11.26 (approx) I feel its less hectic
My friends in my old algebra class had a funny way of remembering the ln(x^2)=2lnx theorem. We called it the yeet theorem because you take the exponent and yeet that shit to the front
I solved it in a similar way somewhat. Started with taking the natural log but instead grouped terms like: (x-5)/(x+1)=ln3/ln2 (x+1-6)/(x+1) = ln3/ln2 1-6/(x+1)=ln3/ln2 (x+1)=-6/(ln3/ln2-1) x=-6/(ln3/ln2-1)-1 x~=-11.257
_no! no! no! no!_ NO… Instead, back at 1:22 , divide both sides by ln3 . This will create the term (ln2/ln3) on the left side of the '=' sign. Note that (ln2/ln3) = 0.630930 . We then will have... 0.630930( x - 5 ) = ( x + 1 ) 0.630930x - 3.154650 = x + 1 ...subtracting 0.630930x from both sides yields... -3.154650 = x - 0.630930x + 1 ...subtracting 1 from both sides yields... -3.154650 - 1 = x - 0.630930x -4.154650 = 0.36907x ...swapping sides yields... 0.369070x = -4.154650 ...solving for x yields... x = ( -4.154650/0.369070 ) *x = -11.257079*
Dont know why its irritating to see multiplying/dividing both sides and cancelling the terms instead of taking that term to the opposite side and cancelling terms🤡
Another way to do it like the first method that isn't exactly any faster but came to me is: once we have (x - 5) ln(2) = (x + 1) ln(3), (eq. 1) we can build h(x)=(x - 5)/(x + 1) = ln(3)/ln(2), (eq. 2) which will have the same solution despite the domain changing a bit, since the solution isn't near -1. and separate that into two equations: f(x₁)=(x₁ - 5) = ln(3) g(x₂)=(x₂ + 1) = ln(2) so solution x (to h) will be formed by solutions x₁/x₂ to f,g respectively. Which, is a linear system. now we can produce a matrix: [[1, -5, ln(3)], [1, 1, ln(2)]] which we partially row reduce to [[6, 0, 5ln(2) + ln(3)], [0, 6, ln(2) - ln(3)]] recombining, since solution to h is solution to f over solution to g, the 6's cancel and we have: x = (5ln(2) + ln(3))/(ln(2) - ln(3)) which is also the solution for eq.1 I know written out this seems long, but it went a lot faster in my head. A lot of the steps here would be incorrect if I didn't explain them carefully. Also it would probably take longer to row reduce than just doing the algebra but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ let me know if I did anything illegal math manipulations
I once decided i wasnt gonna go to uni after doing engineering math with intergration and differentiation. I did finish my diploma but pursued the arts afterwards. Looking at this video makes me want to reconsider the sciences which has always been my true interest. My understanding was always rock solid but the math always killed me since im bad at memorising and no teacher was good enough at explaing to a functional degree. If only i saw your videos back then.. things might be different now.
Even cooler is the fact that if you simplify the first answer they would be the same(I don't know if I'm right to be honest but iirc then that's cool) For example the numerator (ln 3 + 5 ln 2) can be rewritten as: ln 3 + ln 2⁵ or ln 3 +ln 32 Which is equal to ln (3•32) or ln 96 And the denominator can be rewritten as ln (2/3). Which means the equation can be written as [ ln 96/ln (2/3)] which is just equal to the second answer log base 2/3 of 96!
I'm in 7th grade, so i tried to solve it like this. i know it looks bad and there might be some mistakes here and there, but what matters is i got to the right answer! 2^(x-5)=3^(x+1) 2^(x-5)=2^(log2(3^(x+1))) x-5=log2(3^(x+1)) x=log2(3^(x+1))+log2(2^5) x=log2(32*3^x*3) x=log2(96*3^x) log2(2^x)=log2(96*3^x) 2^x=96*3^x (2^x)/(3^x)=96 (2/3)^x=96 x=log2/3(96)

I'm not sure why I'm clicking on this. I am an economics student and just reading about consumer behavior theory, and it contains Lagranian function, which I've never heard before and try to find wtf is that equation but anyway I'm satisfied with this video.
You can solve this a lot quicker by just splitting up the exponents into 2^x, 2^-5, 3^x, and 3. Then isolating x is a matter of factoring it out of 3^x/2^x. Then you get log(1/(3*2^5)) with a logBASE of 3/2. The answer is -11.26
I've been thinking (x-5)log2=(x+1)log3 (x-5)=(x+1)(log3/log2) (x-5)=(x+1)(1.585) (x-5)=1.585x+1.585 Gonna shortcut over here -0.585x=6.585 X= -11.257 Is this correct?

This is very helpful as it gives us an exponential of base 2 on both sides of the equation, which allows us to cancel out the x on the left side through exponent division rule.

2^(-6) = 1.5^(x+1)
Now we only have a single x variable to deal with, so we could simply apply log to both sides and isolate for x
log[2^(-6)] = log[1.5^(x+1)]
(log[2^(-6)]/log[1.5]) - 1 = x

guys we can solve it in another way too.
what i did was this:
i took log on both lhs and rhs. so the exponent comes down and the equation becomes like such
(x-5)log 2=(x+1) log 3
now we know log 2= 0.3010 and log 3=0.477 so we just use those values in the equation
(x-5)*0.3010=(x+1)*0.477
0.3010x-1.505=0.477x+0.477
this becomes
-0.176x=1.982
x=1.982/-0.176
x=-11.26
It was not log tho. It's was ln.
@@CursiveThoughts works w log too
@@CursiveThoughtsyeah you'd have to multiply it with 2.303 to convert ln to log
That'd be easier ig
@@Gaysandthechaos yes
@@CursiveThoughts, in this scenario, either 'ln' or 'log' is acceptable. This is because the bases of logarithms would get cancelled in the process as long as the bases are the same.
I have a question sir. Why we need to use ln instead of log, or we can use which?
Hi...we can use log in 1st method instead of ln ...i used log and the ans is same, u just need to know values of log2 and log3
@@sonvisharma5264 i see.... Thank you
Actually the equation becomes easy, when you use log in exponential problems.
Thanks ❤🇮🇳
मुझे भी equation देख के वही लगा।
I graduated from highschool this year. And I'm really glad rn because i understand what exactly he said. This is crazy for me dude
Equivalent answer with slightly less distribution:
2^(x - 5) = 3^(x + 1)
(x - 5) ln 2 = (x + 1) ln 3
x - 5 = (x + 1) log2(3)
x - 5 = x log2(3) + log2(3)
x - x log2(3) = 5 + log2(3)
x = (5 + log2(3)) / (1 - log2(3))
The same way I did it, but nobody ever seems to approve of logs in bases other than e or 10 for the "official" answers, even though the end result can look simpler. Maybe it dates back to the days of log books which almost always limited themselves to natural and base 10 logs.

I would consider simplify it with log to the base 10 which yields the same answer as the answer you obtained.
We could write it as,
X-5log(2)=X+1log(3)
Which on further simplification can provide,
x= -6.58/0.58= -11.3
And the answer you obtained at the end,
log (base)2/3 (96)= -11.26 (approx)
I feel its less hectic
I'm an international relations major and somehow watched this whole video and nodded everytime he looked at me as if im getting everything he says
My friends in my old algebra class had a funny way of remembering the ln(x^2)=2lnx theorem. We called it the yeet theorem because you take the exponent and yeet that shit to the front
I used to go through this stuff so easily but nowdays I forgot completely how to do it. Makes me want to study this stuff again on spare time.
I solved it in a similar way somewhat. Started with taking the natural log but instead grouped terms like:
(x-5)/(x+1)=ln3/ln2
(x+1-6)/(x+1) = ln3/ln2
1-6/(x+1)=ln3/ln2
(x+1)=-6/(ln3/ln2-1)
x=-6/(ln3/ln2-1)-1
x~=-11.257
That seems more intricate.
_no! no! no! no!_ NO…
Instead, back at 1:22 , divide both sides by ln3 .
This will create the term (ln2/ln3) on the left side of the '=' sign.
Note that (ln2/ln3) = 0.630930 . We then will have...
0.630930( x - 5 ) = ( x + 1 )
0.630930x - 3.154650 = x + 1
...subtracting 0.630930x from both sides yields...
-3.154650 = x - 0.630930x + 1
...subtracting 1 from both sides yields...
-3.154650 - 1 = x - 0.630930x
-4.154650 = 0.36907x
...swapping sides yields...
0.369070x = -4.154650
...solving for x yields...
x = ( -4.154650/0.369070 )
*x = -11.257079*
oh my fricking god how many whiteboard pen boxes do you have😂
@ 2:35 what did you do, why cancel xln3 and 5ln2, what is the reason for it?
Why did you not multiply the 32 on 2^x and 3^x
I'm studying medicine. Idk why im here. 😂 but i enjoyed your content.
Thanks!
After taking Calculus, it’s more scary seeing actual numbers!
I swear all middle school maths just falls out of your head
Here's a video with 10 examples of solving exponential equations, from basic to hard!: ua-cam.com/video/K8CQbSD9wis/v-deo.html
Thanksss
As a communications student in university who hasn't learned maths in over 4 years, this video has enlightened me
In the first example, could you have used log instead of ln? When to use log vs ln?
In this scenario, there is not difference. The only situation requiring 'ln' is when the base of an index is 'e'.
Also, ln(x) is equivalent to log(e, x).
I usually find X after W before Y🤭
Probably behind a space somewhere on a sign or a rocket or whatever.
Just wanted to ask whether we can take ln3/ln2 = ln 1 = 0 and then solve for x with 2 cases giving x=5 and x=-1 (or ln2/ln3=-ln1=-0=0)
Dont know why its irritating to see multiplying/dividing both sides and cancelling the terms instead of taking that term to the opposite side and cancelling terms🤡
Gore log hai bhai
Ham Desi log ko solve krte dekhenge behosh pad jaenge
😂😂
Watching a guy do math without any mistakes is so entertaining bro.
Awesome video, you explain everything so smoothly!!
Am I the only one who absolutely loves logs. It’s not that I find them really easy or anything, they’re just so awesome.
Another way to do it like the first method that isn't exactly any faster but came to me is:
once we have (x - 5) ln(2) = (x + 1) ln(3), (eq. 1) we can build
h(x)=(x - 5)/(x + 1) = ln(3)/ln(2), (eq. 2) which will have the same solution despite the domain changing a bit, since the solution isn't near -1.
and separate that into two equations:
f(x₁)=(x₁ - 5) = ln(3)
g(x₂)=(x₂ + 1) = ln(2)
so solution x (to h) will be formed by solutions x₁/x₂ to f,g respectively.
Which, is a linear system.
now we can produce a matrix:
[[1, -5, ln(3)],
[1, 1, ln(2)]]
which we partially row reduce to
[[6, 0, 5ln(2) + ln(3)],
[0, 6, ln(2) - ln(3)]]
recombining, since solution to h is solution to f over solution to g, the 6's cancel and we have:
x = (5ln(2) + ln(3))/(ln(2) - ln(3))
which is also the solution for eq.1
I know written out this seems long, but it went a lot faster in my head. A lot of the steps here would be incorrect if I didn't explain them carefully. Also it would probably take longer to row reduce than just doing the algebra but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
let me know if I did anything illegal math manipulations
I like it. 😊 It reminds me of when I use Synthetic Division to blitz through some polynomial division by hand.
I once decided i wasnt gonna go to uni after doing engineering math with intergration and differentiation. I did finish my diploma but pursued the arts afterwards. Looking at this video makes me want to reconsider the sciences which has always been my true interest. My understanding was always rock solid but the math always killed me since im bad at memorising and no teacher was good enough at explaing to a functional degree. If only i saw your videos back then.. things might be different now.
you explained it so well and i could feel your excitement in solving for x
When do you know when to use ln and when do you know when to use log?
(⅔)^x=96
xln(⅔)=ln96
xln(2*⅓)=ln(3*32)
x(ln2-ln3)=ln3+5ln2
x=(ln3+5ln2)/(ln2-ln3)
how about taking log on both sides the use the values of log2 and log3 that is 0.3 and 0.47
Challenge here is to find an answer algebraically/exactly, so without a calculator
This is very brilliant!
At which grade would this be taught in your country?
I am still mesmerised by how smoothly he switches pens
Even cooler is the fact that if you simplify the first answer they would be the same(I don't know if I'm right to be honest but iirc then that's cool)
For example the numerator (ln 3 + 5 ln 2) can be rewritten as:
ln 3 + ln 2⁵ or ln 3 +ln 32
Which is equal to ln (3•32) or ln 96
And the denominator can be rewritten as ln (2/3). Which means the equation can be written as [ ln 96/ln (2/3)] which is just equal to the second answer log base 2/3 of 96!
I prefer the method where you just use the appropriate log base from the start which leaves whatever is in the exponent.
I'm in 7th grade, so i tried to solve it like this. i know it looks bad and there might be some mistakes here and there, but what matters is i got to the right answer!
2^(x-5)=3^(x+1)
2^(x-5)=2^(log2(3^(x+1)))
x-5=log2(3^(x+1))
x=log2(3^(x+1))+log2(2^5)
x=log2(32*3^x*3)
x=log2(96*3^x)
log2(2^x)=log2(96*3^x)
2^x=96*3^x
(2^x)/(3^x)=96
(2/3)^x=96
x=log2/3(96)
Bro youve studied log in 7th grade? When i was in 7th grade i was busy counting the leaves in my garden trees lol...btw good going
@3:25 If you squint you can also read it as "absolute value of n cubed plus five, times n squared..." 😛
As a student going into my sophomore year next year I am quite happy that I understood all of this!
This is probably gonna be useful in the future so thanks
me, a researcher in aerospace engineering, watching this at 2 AM
Been watching since gr7 and was so frustrated I couldnt understand any of these but now in gr10 im proud to announce I finally can:D
How did we all get recommended this video for no reason? Currently in my 2nd year of medical school and this was a nice break from learning about renal pathology 😂
You are so talented in teaching. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
I m a bio student why am watching this
Great explanation 👍
Great job, I follow you from Iraq 🇮🇶♥️
I'm not sure why I'm clicking on this. I am an economics student and just reading about consumer behavior theory, and it contains Lagranian function, which I've never heard before and try to find wtf is that equation but anyway I'm satisfied with this video.
You can solve this a lot quicker by just splitting up the exponents into 2^x, 2^-5, 3^x, and 3. Then isolating x is a matter of factoring it out of 3^x/2^x. Then you get log(1/(3*2^5)) with a logBASE of 3/2. The answer is -11.26
Thanks you so much
I have been struggle for the exact same question for a long time and now a week before my test I randomly see this video ❤
So simple . I did it in my head in like 10 seconds
Could you please make a video on how to find values with decimal exponents
Example) (15) ^1.4
That 32 appeared out of nowhere. Math as it always has been.
3:21 HOLY MOLY THAT SCARED ME
I've been thinking
(x-5)log2=(x+1)log3
(x-5)=(x+1)(log3/log2)
(x-5)=(x+1)(1.585)
(x-5)=1.585x+1.585
Gonna shortcut over here
-0.585x=6.585
X= -11.257
Is this correct?
Yes, I also solved it like this Easiest way to solve this problem by log base 10 not natural log
The only way to watch these videos without pulling my hair out is watching st 2x speed
I have a doubt!
At the step (x-5)ln2=(x+1)ln3
Can't we Directly substitute the value of log 2 and log 3 in the eqn?
I'm not sure which form of the result I prefer. The first form uses ln rather than a logarithm with an awkward base, but the second one looks neater.
I was thinking of replacing the 3 with 2^log(2,3)
-> 2^(x-5) = 2^[log(2,3)×(x+1)]
-> x - 5 = log(2,3) × (x+1)
-> solve for x
Is it valid?
This question is quite easy for the Turkish education system. I did it in my mind.
This is pretty cool!
It gives either ~11.25 or its negative.
Wait, log10's also okay to use for this, right?
Watching this as a gcse student in the uk knowing this won’t come up in my exams but this was thoroughly interesting
This helped me so much, thank you!!!
