Question 59793
log(x+2) - log(2x+1)= logx 
I am not sure what to do with the (-) and how it effects the rest of the problem. 
:
Remember, that when you subtract exponents (or logs) it is the same as dividing
We could write the problem:
log[{{{(x+2)/(2x+1)}}}] = log(x)
:
When the log of one expression = the log of another expression, the expressions are equal
     {{{(x+2)/(2x+2)}}} = x
Cross mult
:
x(2x+1) = x + 2
:
2x^2 + x = x + 2
:
Subtract x from both sides
2x^2 = 2
:
x^2 = 2/2
:
x^2 = 1
:
x = 1

Check by substitution:
log(1 + 2) - log(2 + 1) = log(1)
log(3) - log(3) = 0
What is the log of 1? It's 0, right?
