Learning Objective

I can solve exponential equations by using logarithms.

  • 1

    To solve the equation 10^(2T-3) = 7 for T, we can rewrite it in logarithmic form.

  • 2

    The logarithmic form of 10^(2T-3) = 7 is log base 10 of 7 = 2T - 3.

  • 3

    The solution for T in terms of base 10 logarithms is T = (log base 10 of 7 + 3) / 2.
