Solve For X: LOG_4 (X+10)+LOG_4(X-2)=3 Solve For X: LOG_3 (X+5)-LOG_3(X-3)=2

Solution

9)log4(x+10) +log4(x-2) =3

by properties of logaritham log a +log b =log ab

log4(x+10)(x-2) =3

by properties of logaritham logb a =c => a=bc

(x+10)(x-2) =43

(x2+8x-20) =64

x2+8x-84=0

x2+14x-6x-84=0

(x+14)(x-6)=0

x=-14, x=6

x cannot be less than 2 as terms inside the logarithams becomes negative

so x=6 is the answer

10)

log3(x+5) -log3(x-3) =2

by properties of logaritham log a -log b =log a/b

log3(x+5)/(x-3) =2

by properties of logaritham logb a =c => a=bc

(x+5)/(x-3) =32

(x+5)/(x-3) =9

(x+5)=9(x-3)

x+5 =9x-27

9x -x =5+27

8x=32

x=4

 Solve For X: LOG_4 (X+10)+LOG_4(X-2)=3 Solve For X: LOG_3 (X+5)-LOG_3(X-3)=2Solution9)log4(x+10) +log4(x-2) =3 by properties of logaritham log a +log b =log ab
