Question 219792: Hi.
I'm a college freshman and my professor did not explain very well logarithms. I was hoping you maybe could help me?
the problem is to solve for x.

------------
logs are added when their arguments are multiplied.
log(x) + log(x-11) = log(x*(x-11))

since the logs are equal, the arguments are equal

x = 0 log(0) isn't valid, so ignore this solution
x = 19
