Question

If the equation below is solved by graphing, which statement is true? log (6 x + 10) = log 1/2 x

Answer 1

The solution to the given expression is x = -20/11

What are logarithmic functions?

Logarithmic function are inverse of exponential functions. Given the equation below;

log (6 x + 10) = log 1/2 x

In order to determine the solution to the given logarithmic equation, we will first have to cancel the logarithm on both sides to have

6x + 10 = 1/2x

Collect the like terms

6x - 1/2x = 0 - 10

Find the LCD

12x-x/2 = -10
11x/2 = -10

Cross multiply

11x = -2 * 10

11x = -20

Divide both sides by 11

11x/11 = -20/11

x = -20/11

Hence the solution to the given expression is x = -20/11
