3-log(x+2)=5
\n" ); document.write( "Add log(x+2) to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( " 3=5+log(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = log(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "10^(-2) = x+2
\n" ); document.write( "0.01 = x+2
\n" ); document.write( "-1.99 = x
