You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since the bases of the logs are equal (they are both base \"e\"), this means that the arguments (the stuff inside) MUST be equal. So...\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4x=x%2B5\" Set the arguments equal to one another.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4x-x=5\" Subtract \"x\" from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=5\" Combine like terms on the left side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%285%29%2F%283%29\" Divide both sides by \"3\" to isolate \"x\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the solution is \"x=5%2F3\" which approximates to \"x=1.667\".
