SOLUTION: Having some serious problems with these 3 logs:
1.) 2(log 2x-log y)-(log 3 + 2 log 5)
2.) 350/(1+e to the negative x) = 300 : solve for x (not sure where to start)

Question 167993: Having some serious problems with these 3 logs:
1.) 2(log 2x-log y)-(log 3 + 2 log 5)
2.) 350/(1+e to the negative x) = 300 : solve for x (not sure where to start)
3.) "the fifth" log of (x+4) - "the fifth" log of x = 3 (again solving for x, but not sure where to start with this one...it just isn't working out)
Thanks for the help,

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.)
2(log 2x-log y)-(log 3 + 2 log 5)
2(log 2x-log y)-(log 3 + log 5^2)
2(log 2x-log y)-(log 3 + log 25)
2(log 2x/y)-(log 3*25)
log (2x/y)^2 - log 75
log (4x^2/y^2) - log 75
log (4x^2/y^2)/75
log (4x^2/75y^2)
2.) 350/(1+e to the negative x) = 300 : solve for x (not sure where to start)
350/(1+e^(-x)) = 300
350 = 300(1+e^(-x))
350 = 300 + 300e^(-x)
50 = 300e^(-x)
50/300 = e^(-x)
5/30 = e^(-x)
1/6 = e^(-x)
ln(1/6) = -x
-1.7918 = -x
1.7918 = x
3.) "the fifth" log of (x+4) - "the fifth" log of x = 3
log5(x+4) - log5(x) = 3
log5[(x+4)/x] = 3
(x+4)/x = 5^3
(x+4)/x = 125
x+4 = 125x
4 = 124x
0.032 = x
