Math related question: 6^x=24x^2

I know the answer(s) from Wolfram, just not the actual steps for getting there, I've checked the sticky and I can't fucking find an exact video on the subject

Thanks /sci/

Cant solve with algebra. You can express the solutions as a function of the Lambert W function or have a computer do it

You can solve with algebra, but there's a stupid little trick you have to do to simplify it first.

>> No.3364082

just like solving any other quadratic bro.

If you don't know it, then you are supposed to solve it iteratively with Newton's method or bisection or whatever you like best.

You: No good mathematicians are female

At which step did you make a mistake?

there only needs to be a single female mathematician in existence to disprove your inane statements via contradiction.

if you weren't a dumbass you might've known that.

Sure, I believe in equal rights (if that's what you mean), but that has nothing to do with what I said. You made a blanket statement and anon disproved it; in other words, you were incorrect. Why do you refuse to acknowledge that?

obviously i meant "there are significantly less female mathematicians/chemists than there are males".

but you've got to use exaggerated language at times to illustrate a point. you feminists should know this well, what with all men being rapists.

In which way is it obvious? Why didn't you just state "there are significantly fewer..."?

>but you've got to use exaggerated language at times to illustrate a point.
Why is that? Your exaggerated language only resulted in a lack of clarity and, subsequently, misunderstanding. That's not effective in getting your point across.
>you feminists should know this well, what with all men being rapists.
Not all men are rapists.

OP here, this was a goddamned algebra question, and the answer is 3, among other solutions, but you can only get there with the lambert w formula which is most definitely not algebra
