Question 771261
Can the following equation be solved using only algebra?

log base 2 of (6x-8) = log base 3 of (20x+1)

The TI-83 gives the solution x = 4 which checks.

Graphing the equations y = log base 2 of (6x-8) and y = log base 3 of (20x+1) gives a solution of x = 4.

Can this equation be solved with algebra only?
===================
No, it can't.
Only numerical or graphical methods work.
