Solve for y: 8+6^10y=19

Question

I am so lost please help! Thank you 

Answer 1

8 + 6^10y = 19

 

Subtract 8 on both sides of equation to isolate the exponential.

 

6^10y = 11

 

 

Log both sides of equation and bring the exponent as the coefficient of the log.

 

10y Log(6) = Log(11)

 

 

Divide both sides of equation by 10 Log(6).

 

y = Log(11) / (10 Log(6))

 

y = 0.1338
