 Question 602419: logx + log(x-3)=1 can you help me find the answer to this question so that i can have a better understanding of what logarithms are?Answer by solver91311(16868)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Logarithms are exponents. Remember the sum of the logs is the log of the product: If the base is not specified, the base is assumed to be 10, hence using the definition of logarithms from above: Anything raised to the 1 power is just that thing, hence: Put the quadratic into standard form and solve. Hint: it factors. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
