how do u solve for x? log base 3 of x^2=2 log base 3 of 4- 4 log base 3 of 5?

G Guest Guest Sep 5, 2005 #2 rewrite the statement with the logs as per this 2 log base 3 of 4 = log base 3 of 4 ^ 2 then combine the 2 log statements on the right side (minus becomes a division in logs). with a common log base 3 layout--drop this and solve for x looks like it might be x=4/25
