Question

ln(3x+1)-ln(x+5)=0

Answer 1

Start by adding ln(x+5) from both sides. Now you'll get this:
ln(3x+1)=ln(x+5) Now, we have the same base log equal to itself, so the stuff inside must be equal too:
3x+1=x+5

Answer 2

ohh and than just solve

Answer 3

Right. What do you get?

Answer 4

I got 2

Answer 5

Thats what I got too. You can check it by plugging it into the original equation if you'd like.

Answer 6
