Algebra.Com's Answer #14143 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You need to know the law log base b of a = [log a}/[log b] \n" ); document.write( "So, rewriting your problem you get: \n" ); document.write( "[log x]/[log 3]/[log x]/[log 2x]= [log x^2]/[log x] \n" ); document.write( "Denominators cancel with numerators to give the following: \n" ); document.write( "[log y]/[log 3]= [2log x]/[log x[ \n" ); document.write( "Rewrite as: \n" ); document.write( "log base 3 of y = 2 \n" ); document.write( "Therefore y=3^2=9 \n" ); document.write( "y=9\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
