In (3x2 � x)= In x +In 2
Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

adding logs mean multiply

If the logs are equal the expressions are equal, therefore:
(3x^2 - x) = (2x)
3x^2 - x = 2x
3x^2 - x - 2x = 0
3x^2 - 3x = 0
Factor our 3x
3x(x-1) = 0
Two solutions
x = 0
x = 1, the only meaningful solution

You can check this in your calc, enter
in(3(1^2)-1) = .693
and
ln(1) + ln(2) = .693:

time and just think each step through. Good luck. C
