log (base 3) of x minus log (base 3) of (x-5) = log (base 3) of A

log+%283%2C+%28x%29%29+-+log+%283%2C+%28x+-+5%29%29+=+log+%283%2C+%28A%29%29
log+%283%2C+%28x%2F%28x+-+5%29%29%29+=+log+%283%2C+%28A%29%29
So, x%2F%28x+-+5%29+=+A, NOT x%2F%28x-5%29=3%5EA as the other person states.
Now, you need to say what you need done to this equation!!

Also, are you sure the right side is log (base 3) of "A", and not a NUMBER instead?
