Precalc logarithm question

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

\(9-\log_6(x+8)=8\) x = -2 x = -4 x = 14 x = 2

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I need to solve for x.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

note that \[\log_{a}(a)=1\]

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

ok \(\log_6(-2+8)~~~~~\log_6(6)=1\) is this correct so far?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

yes

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

9-1=8 so x=-2?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

yes

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
