log 3x^2 - log x = log
(x+5)
First we will use the algorethim proprties to
simplify the equation.
We know that: log a - log b = log
a/b
==> log (3x^2)/x = log
(x+5)
Now simplify
:
==> log 3x = log (x+
5)
Now, we know that:
if log a
= log b Then, a = b
==>3x = x+
5
==>3x - x =
5
==> 2x =
5
==> x=
5/2
To check
:
log (3x^2) - log x = log (x+
5)
log (3*25/4) - log 5/2 =
log (5/2 + 5)
log (75/4) -
log(5/2) = log (15/2)
log
(75/4) / (5/2) = log
(15/2)
log ( 15/2) =
log15/2)
