my answer for #1 was no solution and my answer for #2 was x=7. Thanks ! Found 2 solutions by Cromlix, MathTherapy:Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
1) log4 (3x+4)^5=15
(3x + 4)^5 = 4^15
(3x + 4)^5 = 1073741824
3x + 4 = 5√1073741824
3x + 4 = 64
3x = 60
x = 20
2) log (x^2-9)=log (5x+5)
As both sides logs
x^2 - 9 - 5x - 5 = 0
x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 2) = 0
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
Hope this helps :-)

my answer for #1 was no solution and my answer for #2 was x=7. Thanks ! 1).
NOT QUITE!! ------- Applying --------- Dividing by 5 --------------- Converting to EXPONENTIAL form
3x + 4 = 64
3x = 64 - 4
3x = 60
x = , or
OR
3x = 60
x = , or 2).
That's right!! Good job!!
log (x^2-9)= log (5x+5) ------ Applying
(x - 7)(x + 2) = 0
x = - 2 is ignored since it's an EXTRANEOUS solution
Therefore,
