Answer 1

Log[9](x+8)=log[9](x+7)=2
=========

Is there supposed to be two = symbols in this problem?

Answer 2

log[9](x+8) + log[9](x+7)=2

Answer 3

Hint: log[9]((x+8)(x+7)) = 2

Answer 4

To log[9]((x+8)(x+7)) = 2,

Answer 5

(x+8)(x+7)=56

Answer 6

I agree with the left side but I did not get the 56. I'll check mine. Will you check how you got the 56 and report back? Thanks.

Answer 7

Using the log definition, I got 9 to the second power = (x+8)(x+7).
