You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"In%283x%5E2-x%29+=+In%28x%29+%2B+In%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "adding logs mean multiply
\n" ); document.write( "\"In%283x%5E2-x%29+=+In%282x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "If the logs are equal the expressions are equal, therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "(3x^2 - x) = (2x)
\n" ); document.write( "3x^2 - x = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "3x^2 - x - 2x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "3x^2 - 3x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factor our 3x
\n" ); document.write( "3x(x-1) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1, the only meaningful solution
