Q. Solve the following for `x`\newlinelog(2x)log(x3)=1\log(2x)-\log(x-3)=1
  1. Isolate Logarithmic Terms: Isolate the logarithmic terms on one side of the equation.\newlineWe want to group the logarithmic terms together to apply logarithmic properties. We can do this by adding log(x3)\log(x - 3) to both sides of the equation.\newlinexlog(2x)log(x3)+log(x3)=1+log(x3)x\log(2x) - \log(x - 3) + \log(x - 3) = 1 + \log(x - 3)\newlineThis simplifies to:\newlinexlog(2x)=1+log(x3)x\log(2x) = 1 + \log(x - 3)
  2. Combine Logarithmic Terms: Apply the property of logarithms to combine the terms on the right side of the equation.\newlineWe can use the property of logarithms that states log(a)+log(b)=log(ab)\log(a) + \log(b) = \log(ab) to combine the 11 and log(x3)\log(x - 3) on the right side of the equation. However, we cannot directly apply this property because 11 is not a logarithm. This is a math error.
