I have always had a tough time with logs, here is the problem:
log 5x = log 3 + log (x-2)
I notice that there is no base, this implies a base 10, so if all the bases are the same I assume i should go from there, I just don't know where to go Can someone give me a hint please?
I may have figured something out, tell me if I am on the right track:
for the right side of the equation:
log 3 + log (x-2)
log (3x-6)
which would leave me with:
log 5x = log (3x-6)
am i on the right track at all?
log 5x = log 3 + log (x-2)
