Answer

Finally, we simplify to get 17x=53.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we rewrite the equation using the property of logarithms, which states that logban=nlogba. So, we have log3(26+17x)=3.

Step 2 :Next, we convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation. This gives us 33=26+17x.

Step 3 :Solving for 17x, we get 17x=33+26.

Step 4 :Substituting the values, we get 17x=27+26.

Step 5 :Finally, we simplify to get 17x=53.
