Question 855105: how do you solve
log(x+2)-log(x-1)=logx-log(x=3)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
this is problem number 855105.

the properties of logs that you will use are:

log(a) - log(b) = log(a/b)
if log(a) = log(b), then a = b.

before i can solve this for you, i need you to check your original equation to make sure you entered it correctly.

you show (x=3)

did you mean (x+3) or did you mean (x-3) or did you mean something else?

i did some preliminary analysis and i don't see a solution to this problem, so it's important to make sure you have shown the problem correctly.

check it again and get back to me with a revised original equation.

i'll then look at it again and get back to you.

your original question is:

how do you solve
log(x+2)-log(x-1)=logx-log(x=3)
