[tex] - 3 log_{3}(x - 2) = - 25 \\ = > log_{3}(x - 2) = \frac{ - 25}{ - 3} \\ = > log_{3}(x - 2) = \frac{25}{3} \\ = > (x - 2) = ( \frac{25}{3} ) ^{3} \\ = > x - 2 = \frac{15625}{27} \\ = > x = \frac{15625}{27} + 2 \\ = > x = \frac{15625 + 54}{27} \\ = > x = \frac{15679}{27} \\ = > x = 5226.33[/tex]
Answer:
5226.33 (approximate value)
