Question

2) Is this right? log(2)(x+2)+log(2)(x-4)=4
x= (2+log(2) over log(2)
?????

Answer 1

ok, so I way way off. I notice two division signs in there and it's throwing me off. Is this a fraction?

Answer 2

Of course you can rewrite that in a different way

Answer 3

weird, i've never seen it like that, is it simplified?

Answer 4

It simplifies into either a whole number or decimal form

Answer 5

log(2) (x+2 +x - 4) = 4
log(2)(2x - 2) = 4
2x - 2 = 4/log(4)

x = (4/log(4) - 2)/2

Answer 6

2.32193

Answer 7

uh oh, you lost me, lol. I need an integer or simplified fraction???? I think it's the fraction I'm after.

Answer 8

You can rewrite it as:

\[x = \frac{\log 5}{\log 2}\]

Answer 9

thanks

Answer 10

I guess the answer was simply 6!
