Solve 5^x+5^x+5^x+5^x=1000

[@TheRenaSystem]

Haven't watched yet, but just factor out 5 to the x, divide both sides by 4, take the natural log of both sides, done. X = ln(250)/ln(5) Edit: Whyd you add so many extra steps lmao

[@melongl5697]

Why did you change to natural log at the end

[@RubyPiec]

log base x of n = log(x)/log(n) or ln(x)/ln(n)

[@melongl5697]

@@RubyPiec how does that help solve the equation though

[@RubyPiec]

​@@melongl5697 good question. i assume it's because if you had to solve this with a calculator, more people know log(5) and log(2) than log_2(5)

Gavin so the beef still going
