Greetings! Lets solve this shall we?!
Lets begin with
32x = 30
Then, we must natural log (ln) or regular log (log) both sides to obtain
ln32x = ln30......................Then bring the 2x down via power rule of logarithms
2xln3 = ln30.........................Then we divide 2ln3 to both sides to obtain
x = (ln30) / (2ln3)
I hope this helps!
