Question

log3(5x+1)=4 A.) x = 5 B.) x = 16 C.) x = 4 D.) x = 3

Answer 1

Answer:

B) x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 is the base, the expression in the parenthesis is the argument and the 4 is the exponent

We also know that $base^{exponent}$ = argument

so therefore the new equation is $3^{4}$ = 5x+1

3 to the fourth power is 81

so 81=5x+1

then solve algebraically
