if logxy3 and logxy1 find the values of x and y Could someon
if log(xy)=3 and log(x/y)=1, find the values of x and y
Could someone walk me through this.
Solution
log ( xy ) = 3
log (x/y ) = 1
applying log properties
log x + log y = 3
log x - log y = 1
adding the 2 equations
2 log x = 4
log x = 2
x = 10^2 = 100
log x + log y = 3
2 + log y = 3
log y = 1
y = 10
hence, x = 100 , y = 10
