Question 1128269
.
log(2+x)-log(x-2)=log5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



            The solution by @josgarithmetic is INCORRECT.


            Below find the correct solution.



<pre>
log(2+x) - log(x-2) = log(5)  ====>


{{{(2+x)/(x-2)}}} = 5  ====>


2 + x = 5*(x - 2)


2 + x = 5x - 10


2 + 10 = 5x - x


12 = 4x


x = {{{12/4}}} = 3.     <U>ANSWER</U>
</pre>


Again, although @josgaritmetic eventually got the correct answer, his solution is WRONG.
