Solve for x. log(x+5) = log(2x-3)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Remember: If the exponents are equal and the bases are the same, then the answers are the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do I just solve for x+5 = 2x-3 ?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Your problem says that the logs (which are the exponents) are equal. The bases are both 10 so therefore the answers which are x+5 and 2x-3 must be equal.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes
