Question

Help please?
Solve: log2 (x+5) + log2 (x+1)=5

Answer 1

@Hero can you help me out

Answer 2

\[log_a(x) + \log_a(y) = \log_a(xy)\]

Answer 3

I got an answer 3 but I want to know if I am correct

Answer 4

Answer 6

@Hero
log2(x+5)(x+1)=5
log2(x^2 +6x+5)=5
2^5=x^2+6x+5
32=x^2+6x+5
0=x^2+6x-27
0=(x-3)(x+9)
x=3 & -9
solution is 3 because you can't have a -9

Answer 7

I was talking to someone and they said there was no solution that is why I was worried

Answer 8

x = 3 is the correct solution

Answer 9

so there is a solution thank God I did it correct then thank you so much for confirming

Answer 10

Make sure to use double parentheses for the first step:

log_{2}((x+5)(x+1))=5
