Question 228085: I am having a bit of difficulty understanding some basic logarithmic equations, whilst i understand the more complicated ones.
I am confused in the use of brackets in the following question:
log(x-6) - log2 = log(x+2) - log3
When I attempted this question I expanded the brackets so that the equation was
logx - log6 = logx + log2 - log3
however when i tried to work this through, I couldnt work out the answer.
It would be great to receive some help as the textbook doesn't explain the use of brackets and i have an exam in a few days!
Thankyou very much for your time

Question 233600: A certain type of skin wound heals according to the function given by N(t)= N0e-0.125t , where N is the number of cm2 of unhealed skin t days after the injury, and N0 is the number of cm2 of the original wound. How long, to the nearest day, will it take for 75% of the wound to heal?

Please see below for further break downs
N0= The 0 is slightly lower than the N
-0.125t= It is squared to the N0e
cm2= the 2 is squared here
