Question

How do you solve this:

log base of 2 (x+4) = 3 - log base of 2 (x-2) ?

Answer 1

\[\log_{2} (x+4) = 3 - \log_{2} (x-2)\]

Answer 2

log(x + 4) / log(2) = 3 - log(x - 2) / log(2)

Answer 3

Ok, but now what?

Answer 4

Do you want the solution?

Answer 5

or do you want the alternate form assuming x is positive?

Answer 6

the alternate form assuming x is positive is log ((x - 2) (x + 4)) = log(8)

Answer 7

after this
(x-2)(x+4)=8
and simply solve for x usinq quadratic formula
