Do you mean,
2 + 3^x = 245 ??
2 + 3^x = 245
subtract 2 from each side
3^x = 243
use natural logs ( I always do, though you can use logs )
ln(3^x) = ln(243)
you have the right in this operation to bring the exponent before the natural log
x(ln3) = ln(243)
divide
x = ln(243)/ln(3) ( not ln(243/3) !!!! )
x = 5.493061443/1.098612289
x = 5

2 + 3^5 = 245
2 + 243 = 245
245 = 245

35x + 115 = 360 35x = 360-115 35x = 245 x = 245/35 x = 7
x+y=245 x=0-245 y=0-245

7n = 245To isolate n, divide both sides of the equation by 7.n = 245 / 7n = 35Check:L.S. = 7nL.S. = 7(35)L.S. = 245R.S. = 245L.S. = R.S.245 = 245The equation is true, so the solution is n = 35.
x/35 = 7 x = 7 * 35 x = 245
