solve this equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(2*log(x)-8)/(log(x)+2)=log(x)-3
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "let u=log(x)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282u-8%29%2F%28u%2B2%29=u-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2u-8=(u+2)(u-3)
\n" ); document.write( "2u-8=u^2-u-6
\n" ); document.write( "u^2-3u+2=0
\n" ); document.write( "(u-2)(u-1)=0
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "u=2=log(x)
\n" ); document.write( "log(x)=2
\n" ); document.write( "x=10^2=100
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "u=1=log)x)
\n" ); document.write( "log(x)=1
\n" ); document.write( "x=10^1=10 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
