Question 856194: Hello! I am clueless where to go from here:
Consider the following equation:
ln(x+7) - ln(x-5)=ln x
A. Solve the logarithmic equation algebraically
X=
B. Round your result to three decimal places
X=
This is what I have so far=
ln(x+7) - ln(x-5) - ln x= 0
ln(x+7)/x(x-5)=0
(x+7)/x(x-5)=1
x+7=x^2-5x
x^2-6x-7=0
Now I don't understand what to do. Can you please help me in understanding this equation?
Thank you so much!
