You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"log%28%282%2Bx%29%29-log%28%28x-2%29%29=log5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "First, use a logarithm property to recognize that:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28%282%2Bx%29%2F%282-x%29%29=log5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now, you can make each side of the equation the exponent of 10 to get rid of the logs:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2Bx%29%2F%282-x%29=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now, just solve for x and you are done. I will leave this part to you.
