You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ln (x+5) - ln (x-1) = ln (3)
\n" ); document.write( "ln[(x+5)/(x-1)] = ln3
\n" ); document.write( "Take the anti-ln of both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "[(x+5)/(x-1)] = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Cross-multiply to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x+5 = 3x-3
\n" ); document.write( "2x=8
\n" ); document.write( "x=4
