Question

Can someone help me w. the steps to solve (x)log(2)=(x+1)log(5) ??

Answer 1

treat everything but \(x\) as a constant
distribute first
\[x\log(2)=x\log(5)+\log(5)\]

Answer 2

Apparently I'm suppose to convert it into an exponential equation but idk where to start.

Answer 3

put all \(x\)'s on one side
\[x\log(2)-x\log(5)=\log(5)\] factor out an \(x\) from the left
\[x(\log(2)-\log(5)=\log(5)0\] then divide
\[x=\frac{\log(5)}{\log(2)-\log(5)}\]

Answer 4
