This is an exponential equation since you are solving for the exponent and the answer you get is the argument.

Other examples of this would be this:

2^x = 8

4(7 - x) = 16

3^(7-2x)=1/27
1/27=1/(3)^3 [note: a^(-m)=1/a^m]
=3^(-3)
so3^(7-2x)=1/27
=3^(-3)
bases are equal, so powers can be equated.
7-2x= -3
7+3=2x
2x=10
x=10/2
x=5

3^(7 - 2x) = 1/27
3^(7 - 2x) = 1/(3^3)
3^(7 - 2x) = 3^(-3)
7 - 2x = -3
-2x = -7 - 3
x = -10/-2
x = 5

3^(7-2x)=1/27
(7-2x) log (3) = log(1/27)
(7-2x) log(3) = -log(27)
(7-2x) log(3) = - log(3^3)
(7-2x) log(3) = -3 log(3)
divide both sides by log(3)
7-2x=-3
-2x=-10
x=5

linear, it can be solved and graphed. since x can change this moves the points up and down on the graph.
