Hello. This problem was presented to me and I can't figure out for the life of me how to solve it.
2^x + 3^x = 50
I know the answer is approximately 3.35, thanks to WolframAlpha, but I don't know of any steps to arrive at this.
ln(2^x + 3^x) = ln(50)
How do you solve for ln(a+b) in this regard when a and b have a variable as their exponent?
Using ln(a+b) = ln(a((b/a)+1) = ln(a) + ln((b/a)+1) just gets me running in circles.
