1/4 ^3 = 1/64
2^-5 = 1/32
what's the base for log 279?
I think you may have meant log_9 729 (9^3 = 729)
Assuming that,
3 - 5 - log_9(x+75) - 3 = -14/3
log_9(x+75) = -1/3
At this point, you can still solve it, but the answer is not as simple as it ought to be, judging from the problem. Check for further typos.
