Question 1030905: Solve this equation for the missing variable.
It's the natural log I have no idea how to do it. Please please help!
ln(x-4)ln(x+6)= ln e^5

Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ln(x-4)ln(x+6)= ln e^5

There is no algebraic method for solving this other than
by approximation: approximately x = 10.05624144

Did you mean

lln(x-4) + ln(x+6)= ln e^5 instead, 

where they are added instead of multiplied?

That can be solved algebraically.

You can tell me in the thank-you note form below and I'll 
get back to you by email.  [No charge.  I just do this for fun.]
