Question 855108: log(-x-3)-log(x-1)-log(x+3)= 1
ALL LOGS ARE IN BASE 2! (I couldn't find out how to put the base in the formula, sorry.)
I was thinking you would stack everything, like this:
but I know that must not be right. Why do the two multiply at the bottom? It's supposed to be division/division/division (Log subtraction turns into division).
I'm more than a bit confused and appreciate all the help and explanation given. Thank you.

In fact you are correct. Keep going with it.

How to put into base 2, and use the rendering tagging: log(-x-3)-log(x-1)-log(x+3)= 1;

log(2,(-x-3))-log(2,(x-1))-log(2,(x+3))=1.
Put three left-curly braces at the left and three right-curly braces at the right, and this will make the algebra dot com message field render the expression or equation.

Left curly brace, {
Right curly brace, }.
