solve the following equation:
ln2-ln(3x+2)=1
We can write this as single log, (- means divide)
ln%282%2F%28%283n%2B2%29%29%29 = 1
Write the exponent equiv
2%2F%28%283n%2B2%29%29 = e%5E1
which is
3x + 2 = 2%2Fe
find the value with a calc
3x + 2 = .73576
3x = -2 + .73576
3x = -1.26424
x = -1.26424/3
x = -.4214
