Question

What is the first step in solving the logarithmic equation, log 3 + log (x+1) = log (2x+4)?

Answer 1

quotient rule\[\huge\rm log_b y - \log_b x = \log_b \frac{ x }{ y}\]
to condense you can change subtraction to division
product rule \[\huge\rm log_b x + \log_b y = \log_b( x \times y )\]
addition ----> multiplication

power rule \[\huge\rm log_b x^y = y \log_b x\]

Answer 2

first step) condense
look at the log properties
there is "+" sign how would you write it in single log form ?

Answer 3

if \[\log a=\log b \Longrightarrow a=b\]
after using what @Nnesha mentioned you can use this to get the solution
