Question 936800

Solve for x: 1/2log(x+2)=2 I thought you could divide the 1/2 out in each side but...
<pre>Yes, you can divide both sides by {{{1/2}}}

˝log (x + 2) = 2
{{{log ((x + 2)) = 2}}}{{{"÷"}}}{{{1/2}}}  
log (x + 2) = 2 * 2
log (x + 2) = 4
{{{x + 2 = 10^4}}} -------- Converting to LOGARITHMIC form
x + 2 = 10,000
x = 10,000 – 2, or {{{highlight_green(9998)}}}
