What is the solution of the equation?

Error Analysis: Describe and correct the error made in solving the equation.
Review Lesson 7-4: Expand the logarithm.
Review Lesson 6-6: Let f(x) = 3x and g(x) = x2 - 1. Perform each function operation on the right and identify its equivalent expression in simplest form from the left.
x2 + 3x - 1
9x2 - 1
3x2 - 3
x2 - 3x - 1
Review Lesson 5-6: Find all the zeros of each function on the right. Match the zeros on the left with the function(s) to which they belong. Some zeros may not be needed.

Vocabulary Review: Which expression is read "five to the third power"?
Use Your Vocabulary: Match each equation on the left with the operation(s) needed to isolate the variable on the right.
Multiply both sides by 3. Then add 5 to both sides.
Divide both sides by 3.
Subtract 9 from each side, then divide both sides by 4.
