Question 734717: Solve the logarithmic equation. Be sure to reject any value of x that is not in the domain of the original logarithmic expression. Give the exact answer.
log(x+16) = logx+log16

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log(x+16) = log(x) + log(16)
log(x+16) = log(16x)
therefore
x + 16 = 16x
16 = 16x - x
16 = 15x
x = 16/15
