Question

Log function..
posting equation.

Answer 1

\[\log_{2}3+\log_{2}x=\log_{2}5+\log_{2}(x-2) \]
\[\log_{2}3x=\log_{2}5x-10 \]
do i now divide each side by log(base)2?

Answer 2

i think you helped w/ one of my last ones. @zepdrix

Answer 3

Hmmmm if we can condense each side into a single log, then we can do some fun math from there.

Do you remember this rule of logs?
\[\log_{a}b +\log_{a}c=\log_{a}(bc)\]

Answer 4

Oh yes, hello kitty looks familiar hehe!

Answer 5

yes! @zepdrix

Answer 6

You don't need to @zepdrix every time XD hah, just the first time. Since I have responded, it will now give me updates every time you post something, even if it doesn't have the @zepdrix tag c:

Answer 7

So using that rule, how can you rewrite each side? :D

Answer 8

i think i already got the combining part?

Answer 9

Oh you did LOL im so slow :3 sorry bout that. didn't see that posted below your initial equation.

Answer 10

so now solving for x, i'm lost as to taking the next step.
