Question 605563: Ok so the question is, "Solve the following logarithmic equation."
the brackets [] = the base or b
log[5](x+3) = 4 - log[5](x+123)
log[5](x+3)(x+123) = 4
product rule above
exponential form below
5^4 = (x+3)(x+123)
625 = x^2 + 126x + 369
0 = x^2 + 126x - 256
I am stuck here and could use help getting the zeroes.

-2 times 128 is -256, -2 + 128 is 126
