You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log6(7x-2)=1+log6(x+5)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "subtract log6(x+5) from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "log6(7x-2) - log6(x+5) = 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "subtraction means divide in logs

\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by (x+5)
\n" ); document.write( "7x - 2 = 6(x + 5)
