You can put this solution on YOUR website! using the subtraction property of logarithms, we can combine the two logarithms and get log base 5 [(3x-1)/(x+5)]=0
Then, we can rewrite the problem in exponential form.
I always say "a to the b equals c" for a general exponential form and then drop the a down to the base, move the "b" to the right side of the equals sign, and then move the c to the left. It looks something like this:
Exponential form:
Logarithm form: log base a of c=b
So, in this case, our "a" is 5, our "b" is 0 and our "c" is
and we can write it in exponential form:
well, because of the zero exponent property and therefore
Multiply both sides by (x+5) and then solve for x
