solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "log(5x-1)=2+log(x-2)
\n" ); document.write( "log(5x-1)-log(x-2)=2
\n" ); document.write( "log[(5x-1)/(x-2)]=2=log(100)
\n" ); document.write( "(5x-1)/(x-2)=100
\n" ); document.write( "5x-1=100x-200
\n" ); document.write( "95x=199
\n" ); document.write( "x=199/95≈2.0947 \n" ); document.write( "
