How can I find the intersection point between 2 transformed exponential functions?

46 Views Asked by At

I am trying to find the intersection point betweens 2 exponential functions, where the x of the point of intersection is:

$5 \cdot 3^x - 7 = 2^{x+3}$

I found myself stuck at

$x = \log_3( (2^{x+3} + 7 ) / 5 )$

How can I solve this equation for x?

On my calculator, I found that the answer is supposed to be

$x\approx 1.73$

Wolfy gets the numerical root as about 1.7348162477070183112.

The inverse symbolic calculator doesn't return anything.

My guess is that this is a JaN (Just a Number) with no redeeming value.
