Answer

$x\approx11.48$

Work Step by Step

Find the natural log of both sides and then pull out the exponent to the left side. Then solve for $x$. $7^{0.3x}=813$ $\ln(7^{0.3x})=\ln(813)$ $0.3x\ln(7)=\ln(813)$ $0.3x=\frac{\ln(813)}{\ln(7)}$ $x=\frac{\ln(813)}{\ln(7)}\times\frac{1}{0.3}$ $x\approx11.48$
