Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

yes
