SOLUTION: I've been working on a problem but can't seem to find the solution to write as a single logarithm: 2 log 4 + log x - log 2. My fisrt instict/ step was to: rearrange the problem

Question 45133: I've been working on a problem but can't seem to find the solution to write as a single logarithm: 2 log 4 + log x - log 2.
My fisrt instict/ step was to: rearrange the problem to make it more clearer to work and went from there. I'm missing a step somewhere, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
2 log 4 + log x - log 2
log 4^2 + log x - log 2
log 16 - log 2 + log x ?
log x = log 16 / log 2 ?
x = 8 ?

Answer by adamchapman(301) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Now remember the following operations:
and
So:

We cannot find the value of x because we have not benn shown what our simplified function is equal to. All we can do is simplify to a single logarithm.
I hope this helps.
