9 is base
I'm just asking whether this is even solvable
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
hint
\(\log_9(x+6)-\log_9(x)=\log_9(2)\\\log_9(\frac{x+6}{x})=\log_9(2)\\\frac{x+6}{x}=2\)
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
can you solve that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that's what i ended up with
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
good work

just that?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
solve for x
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
\(\dfrac{x+6}{x}=2\)

multiply both sides by \(x\)
\(x+6=2x\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u end up with 6=2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oooh
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
no of course not, 6 is not equal to 2

if you are having problems solving this, I would go back and review old material. You should not be working on logs if you cant solve this IMO
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
\(x+6=2x \implies x=6\)
