    Finding x in a Logarithmic Equation: A Challenging Problem

    I understood what was done! (x-1)ln2 = ln5 + 3xln7 x ln 2 - ln 2 = ln 5 + 3xln7 x ln 2 - 3x ln 7 = ln 5 + ln 2 x (ln 2 - 3 ln 7) = ln 5 + ln 2 x = ln 5 + ln 2 / ln 2 - 3 ln 7 Thanksss!

    Finding x in a Logarithmic Equation: A Challenging Problem

    Thank you, that is very helpful, I understand how you got from xln2 - 3xln7 = ln5 + ln2 to x = (ln5 + ln2) / (ln2 - 3ln7) but I don't really understand what happened with the (x-1) when you go from (x-1)ln2 = ln5 + 3xln7 to xln2 - 3xln7 = ln5 + ln2 Thank you in advanced.

    Finding x in a Logarithmic Equation: A Challenging Problem

    Homework Statement This one has has me pretty lost, I'm not at all sure what to do, I've tried a couple of things. I have to find x. 2(x-1) = 5(73x) Homework Equations Logarithm laws? The Attempt at a Solution (did multiple attempts but my most reasonable to my account) 2(x-1) =...

    What is the solution to this logarithm equation?

    Thank you, I have resolved my problem with the following: ln 64 + 2 (ln x) = 2 (ln 18 - ln x) ln 64 + 2 ln x = 2 ln 18 - 2 ln x ln 64 - 2 ln 18 = -2 ln x - 2 ln x ln 64 - 2 ln 18 = -4 ln x ln 64 - ln 324 = ln x-4 ln (64/324) = ln x-4 (64/324) = x-4 (64/324)1/-4 = x 1.5 = x Thanks...

    What is the solution to this logarithm equation?

    Homework Statement Find x in the following equation (ln 64 / 2) + ln x = ln 18 - ln x The answer should be x = 3/2 Homework Equations Logarithm laws ln m - ln n = ln (m/n) The Attempt at a Solution I tried two methods: (ln 64 / 2) + ln x = ln 18 - ln x ln 32 + ln x = ln 18...

    What is the Correct Characteristic for log15 850?

    Hello, I understand the current concept of the characteristic however there either is a mistake in my answerbook or I made a mistake log15 850 = 850(1/15) = 1.568 The characteristic should be 1 and the mantissa is 0.568 -- My answer book says it's 2. I have done all my other exercices...

    Solve Logarithmic Equation: [log_{2} 9/log_{2} 10] - log 3

    Thank you very much! For future reference: logc m = logs m / logs c In this case: log2 9 / log2 10 = log10 9 log 9 - log 3 = log (9/3) = log 3 Thanks again.
