document.write( "I am trying to find a solution to the following equation:  log 4x = log 8 + 1.  My instructor told me to move it to be:  log 4 x - log 8 = 1.  He said then to use the properties to write the equation as a single log.  The next step was to re-write into exponential form and solve.  I have tried all the methods I have used in class (one to one method, etc.) but we have not done a problem exactly like this one.  I have looked and looked and cannot find a problem like this and it is driving me crazy.  If you could show me an example of a problem like this, it would be appreciated.  \r<BR>\n" );
