Question 493072: Alright, the question is log base 3 2x+log base 3 7= log base 3 28.

I know that the answer is 2, but i have no clue how to get to it. I tried canceling out the log base 3 part since they are all the same, and then it came out to 2x+7=28 and solved that, but then x would equal 10.5z please help!
