@jtug6 lend a hand?
OpenStudy (jtug6):
mhm 1 sec
OpenStudy (jtug6):
Okay so do you know the inverse of ln?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
uh I don't think so

Ok well basically ln and e are inverses of eachother where e raised to the ln power cancels it out as does ln of e so
\[e^{\ln}\] goes away and
\[\ln(e)\] goes away as well
OpenStudy (jtug6):
so ln 4 + ln(2x) = 2 means you need to first subtract ln 4 from both sides because we want x entirely isolated even though its inside of ln
OpenStudy (jtug6):
so what is that?
OpenStudy (danjs):
from addition property of log functions, maybe combine both on the left to begin
ln(4) + ln(3x) ----> ln(12x)

sorry I had went away for a bit

use base e and raise everything to powers
\[\huge e^{\ln(12x)} = e^2 \]
OpenStudy (jtug6):
That works too or you can just subtract ln4 take e raise it then divide by 3 to find x.
OpenStudy (danjs):
left with 12x=e^2, some number
OpenStudy (danjs):
yeah, all works the same
OpenStudy (jtug6):
mhmmmmm :D

in that case, why not make ln(3x) --- ln(3) + ln(x) ....to follow that custom.. hah idk
