\n" ); document.write( "(1) Use rules of logarithms to write the left hand side as a single logarithm.

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\"log%2810%2C%28%28x%2B6%29%2F%28x-6%29%29%29+=+1\"

\n" ); document.write( "(2) Convert the logarithmic equation to exponential form.

\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B6%29%2F%28x-6%29+=+10%5E1+=+10\"

\n" ); document.write( "(3) Solve the resulting equation.

\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B6%29+=+10%28x-6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B6+=+10x-60\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"66+=+9x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+66%2F9+=+22%2F3\"

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: x = 22/3
\n" ); document.write( "
