solve 5 raised to x+2=12?
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%5E%28x%2B2%29+=+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use logs here
\n" ); document.write( "\"log%285%5E%28x%2B2%29%29+=+log%2812%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "log equiv of exponents
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)log(5) = log(12)
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = \"log%2812%29%2Flog%285%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "using a calc
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = 1.544
