The general rule is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28a%29+-+log%28b%29+=+log%28a%2Fb%29\"$ , so
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28x-3%29+=+log%28x%29+-+log%282%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28x-3%29+=+log%28x%2F2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If the logs are equal, the quantities are equal
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+-+3+=+x%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+-+6+=+x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is (C)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
