Question 440024: solve the equation: log(57x)=2+log(x-2)
Answer by nerdybill(7384)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log(57x)=2+log(x-2)
log(57x) - log(x-2) = 2
log(57x)/(x-2) = 2
(57x)/(x-2) = 10^2
(57x)/(x-2) = 100
57x = 100(x-2)
57x = 100x-200
0 = 43x-200
200 = 43x
200/43 = x
4.65 = x
