Question 408806: log(base 3)(x-5)+ log(base 3)(x+3)=2
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x - 5)(x + 3) = 9
x^2 - 2x - 24 = 0
factoring ___ (x - 6)(x + 4) = 0
HINT : logarithms are not defined for negative arguments , so only one of the factored solutions is correct
