SOLUTION: Solve. Where appropriate, include approximations to the nearest thousandth. If no solution exists, state this. log (x + 4) - log (x

SOLUTION: Solve. Where appropriate, include approximations to the nearest thousandth. If no solution exists, state this. log (x + 4) - log (x - 2) = log 3

Question 328960: Solve. Where appropriate, include approximations to the nearest thousandth. If no solution exists, state this.
log (x + 4) - log (x - 2) = log 3
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log (x + 4) - log (x - 2) = log 3
---
log[(x+4)/(x-2)] = log(3)
---
(x+4)/(x-2) = 3
---
x+4 = 3x-6
2x = 10
x = 5
