OpenStudy (turingtest):

I'd like to gently remind all those who would attempt to answer this question that it against the code of conduct to post the answer without sufficient explanation. Thank you.

thanks alan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log3^(x-4)=log7^(x+9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember the exponent rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-4)log3 = log3^(x-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (x-4)log3=(x+9)log7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...thinking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

expand, collect like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o got doff answers but none of them are x ≈ –25.86 x ≈ –2.59 x ≈ –0.39 x ≈ –0.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then either you're wrong or the answers are wrong

OpenStudy (turingtest):

what answer did you get? could you show us how you got it please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe it's a misprint of the decimal place? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you thats what i wanted to know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah maybe

OpenStudy (anonymous):
