**
logx-1=-log(x-9)
logx-1+log(x-9)=1
logx+log(x-9)=1
log(x)(x-9)=1
convert to exponential form: (base(10) raised to log of number(1)=number(x(x+9))
10^1=(x)(x-9)=10
x^2-9x-10=0
(x-10)(x+1)=0
x=10
or
x=-1 (reject, x-9>0)
..
log(1-x)+logx+log(x+4)
log(1-x)(x)(x+4)
We need an equation to come up with a solution
