solve:
\[\log_3(3x+14)-\log_35=\log_3 2x\]
Nnesha (nnesha):
how would you start ??/
first cancel out the log ??
OpenStudy (study_buddy99):
i'm not quite sure
OpenStudy (leenathan):

this question is same as the previous one.
the only difference is there is minus sign so you should apply
subtraction rule.
OpenStudy (study_buddy99):
that's what I thought, but then I was looking over the last question and I got confused because I'm not sure where the negative went
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[\huge\rm \log_b x+ \log_b y = \log_b ~(xy)\]
addition to multiplication
\[\huge\rm \log_b x - \log_b y= \log_b \frac{x}{y}\]
subtracation to division
OpenStudy (study_buddy99):
\[\frac{ 3x+14 }{ 5 }=2x\]
Nnesha (nnesha):
looks good solve for x

that's where I get confused
OpenStudy (study_buddy99):
do I multiply by 5?
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes right.
OpenStudy (study_buddy99):
x=2
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[\frac{ 3x+14 }{ 5 }=2x\]
substitute x for 2
if both sides are equal then yes x=2 is correct
