I am assuming that you mean

I have coined the phrase which I call the "This Equals That" Theorem:
"If ", then ""!!

(Someday, maybe I'll become famous for this theorem. Just remember, you heard it first HERE on algebra.com!!)

So, if , then , provided none of the values of x causes a log of a negative!!

Solve for x:

Check answers to make sure that you didn't accidentally have a log of a negative. Both logarithms are acceptable, so this is the final answer.
