To solve the equation log_3(x) = 2 * log_3(7) + 2/3 * log_3(27) - 3/2 * log_3(16), we can use the logarithmic properties:
- log_b(a) + log_b(c) = log_b(a * c)
- log_b(a) - log_b(c) = log_b(a / c)
- log_b(a^c) = c * log_b(a)
Using these properties, let's simplify the equation step by step:
log_3(x) = 2 * log_3(7) + 2/3 * log_3(27) - 3/2 * log_3(16)
Applying the first property to the right-hand side:
log_3(x) = log_3(7^2) + log_3(27^(2/3)) - log_3(16^(3/2))
log_3(x) = log_3(49) + log_3(9) - log_3(64)
Applying the third property to each term:
log_3(x) = log_3(49 * 9 / 64)
log_3(x) = log_3(441 / 64)
Now, since the equation is in logarithmic form, we can convert it into exponential form:
x = 441 / 64
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 441 / 64.
