Question 711421: I can't figure this out.
First of all, the 4's in this problem are down at the bottom (like the opposite of an exponent) I can't remember what they are called.
It says, log4(x+7)= log4 14
tiny fours at the bottom of each log.
Thanks!

4 is the bases.
log%284%2Cx%2B7%29+=+log%284%2C14%29
-------
x + 7 = 14
x = 7
