I had this problem on a worksheet and tried a bunch of different log properties on it, but ended up getting stuck. Any help would be appreciated! $$\log(3x) = 3x - 8$$

1This will need a numerical method, e.g. linear interpolation or Newton-Raphson, unless you can use non-elementary functions. – Fly by Night Dec 06 '16 at 19:54

I've never done those before, my teacher gave me this problem in alg2/trig. – izzi violin Dec 06 '16 at 19:57

Is the log base $10$ or $e$ or what? – kingW3 Dec 06 '16 at 20:04
