Question

log2 x = log2 (1-5x)-1
find x

Answer 1

\[\log_{2} x=\log_{2} (1-5x) - 1 \]

Answer 2

1 can be written as log of 2 to the base 2.

use properties to simplify and take anti-log.

Answer 3

@callisto... can help?

Answer 4

\[\log _{2} x - \log _{2} ( 1 - 5x) = -1\]

raise each term to a power of 2

\[x - (1 - 5x) = 2^{-1}\]

6x - 1 = 1/2

solve the equation
