Precalculus Properties of Logarithmic Functions Common Logs 1 Answer Shwetank Mauria Oct 19, 2016 #d=3.7162# Explanation: As #16^(d-4)=3^(3-d)#, taking log to the base #10# on both sides, we get #(d-4)log16=(3-d)log3# or #d xxlog16-4log16=3 xx log3-d xxlog3# or #d(log16+log3)=3xxlog3+4log16# or #d=(3xxlog3+4log16)/log48# = #(3xx0.4771+4xx1.2041)/1.6812# = #(1.4313+4.8164)/1.6812# = #6.2477/1.6812=3.7162# Answer link Related questions What is the common logarithm of 10?
