I have two questions that I am struggling with.
1. Log x + log (x + 3)= 1 assume the log base is 10
Unless it's specified otherwise, base 10 is assumed (ln = base e, tho)
Log x + log (x + 3)= 1
log(x*(x + 3)) = log(10)
x*(x + 3) = 10
x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
etc.
-------------
2. log3 (2x-1)- log3 (x-4)=2

(2x-1)/(x-4) = 9
etc.
