What is the approximate value of x in the equation? the log base 3 fourths of 25 is equal to 3 x minus 1

Use the change-of-base formula: log base 3/4 of 25 = ln(25)/ln(3/4), which is approximately -11.19. Then solve -11.19 = 3x - 1: add 1 and divide by 3 to get x ≈ -3.40. The closest choice is negative 3.396, choice B.
