a. $3^{4x}=3^{100}$, $4x=100$, $x=25$ b. $e^{3x-2}=e^{x^2}$, $3x-2=x^2$, $x^2-3x+2=0$, $x^2-x-2x+2=0$, $x(x-1)-2(x-1)=0$, $(x-2)(x-1)=0$, $x=2$ or $x=1$ c. $5^{x/10}+1=7$, $5^{x/10}=6$, $\frac{x}{10}\log5=\log6$, $x=\frac{\log6\times10}{\log5}$ $x=11.13$ d. $10^{x+3}=6^{2x}$, $x+3=2x\log6$, $2x\log6-x=3$, $x(2\log6-1)=3$, $x=\frac{3}{2\log6-1}=5.39$
