1n (x+2) - 1n (x-1) = 1
When logs are subtracted we can divide the terms
= 1
exponent equiv
=
which is
= 2.71828
x + 2 = 2.71828(x-1)
:
x + 2 = 2.71828x - 2.71828
:
2 + 2.71828 = 2.71828x - x
:
4.71828 = 1.71828x
:
x =
x = 2.746
:
:
Check this on a calc: enter ln(4.746) - ln(1.746), results .99997 ~ 1
