3700\times 1.5^{x}=\frac{160000000}{3}
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
1.5^{x}=\frac{1600000}{111}
Divide both sides by 3700.
\log(1.5^{x})=\log(\frac{1600000}{111})
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
x\log(1.5)=\log(\frac{1600000}{111})
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
x=\frac{\log(\frac{1600000}{111})}{\log(1.5)}
Divide both sides by \log(1.5).
x=\log_{1.5}\left(\frac{1600000}{111}\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
