Can you show all the steps because it will help me understand more thanks Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) log(base 5) x+2 = 1- log(base 5) x-2
log(base 5) x+2 +log(base 5) x-2=1
log(base 5) ((x+2)(x-2)) =log(base5)5
x^2-4=5
x^2=9
x= +/- 3
ignore negative
x=3
