Answer:
x = 8 is the correct statement.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given statement is [tex]log_{3}(x+1)=2[/tex]
Now from the rules of the logarithm
[tex]log_{3}(x+1)=2[/tex]
[tex]3^{2}=(x+1)[/tex] [Since [tex]log_{a}b=c\Rightarrow b=a^{c}[/tex]]
Therefore [tex]3^{2}=(x+1)[/tex]
x + 1 = 9
x = 9 - 1 = 8
Therefore answer will be x = 8.
