From -4 log (2x+5) +9 = 8.2
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 9 and then divide by -4
\n" ); document.write( "-4*log(2x+5) = -.8
\n" ); document.write( "log(2x+5) = .2
\n" ); document.write( "Now exponentiate 10-to-the
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 5 = 10^.2 = 1.585
\n" ); document.write( "2x = -3.415
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1.708 or so \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
