You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log[b](8) + log[b](x^2) = log[b](x)
\n" ); document.write( "logb(8) + logb(x^2) = logb(x)
\n" ); document.write( "logb(8) + logb(x^2) -logb(x)=0
\n" ); document.write( "place under single log
\n" ); document.write( "logb[8x^2/x]=logb(8x)=0
\n" ); document.write( "convert to exponential form: base(b) raised to log of number(0)=number(8x)
\n" ); document.write( "b^0=8x=1
\n" ); document.write( "x=1/8
\n" ); document.write( "note: This means b could be any base.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
