Why is it that -log(x+8)=4-log(x-7) has no solution? (they are log base 2)

Note that -log(x+8) + log(x-7) = 4, and that the left side is equal to

            x-7
log ------------- 
            x-8

Therefore, 

            x-7
log ------------- = 4
            x-8

Acknowledging that your "log" actually represents "log to the base 2 of ... "

We get:

   x-7
--------- = 2^4 = 16
   x-8

Can this be solved for x?  

Rearranging,         x-7 = 16x - 128, or -7 = 15x - 128, or 121 = 15x
                                                    121
Dividing 121 by 15, we get   x = -------  = 121/15 = approx. 8.067.
                                                      15

                                                      
So far I see no reason why the given <span>-log(x+8)=4-log(x-7) "has no solution."</span>

-log(x+8)=4-log(x-7) 

-\log _{10}\left(x+8\right)+\log _{10}\left(x+8\right)=4-\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)+\log _{10}\left(x+8\right) 

0=4-\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)+\log _{10}\left(x+8\right) 

0+\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)=4-\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)+\log _{10}\left(x+8\right)+\log _{10}\left(x-7\right) 

\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)=\log _{10}\left(x+8\right)+4 

\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)=\log _{10}\left(x+8\right)+\log _{10}\left(10000\right) 

x-7=\left(x+8\right)\cdot \:10000 

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x-7=\left(x+8\right)10000:\quad x=-\dfrac{26669}{3333} 

\mathrm{Verifying\:Solutions}:\quad x=-\dfrac{26669}{3333}\space\mathrm{False} 

\mathrm{No\:Solution\:for\:x\in \mathbb{R}}

The answer is

2. 2a+12

Show work

2a+7+2a+7+4+4= 4a+22

A+2+a+2+3+3 = 2a+10

(4a+22)-(2a+10) = 2a+12

To solve problem 1 what you need to do is figure out how many miles the girls have walked so far and then subtract that from the total distance they must complete.

3/4-(3/10+1/4)

Step 1:Change the denominators so that way they are all the same

3/4=15/20
3/10=6/20              15/20-(6/20+5/20)
1/4=5/20

Step 2: Begin solving the problem

6/20+5/20=11/20
15/20-11/20=4/20

Step 3: Simplify your answer

4/20=1/5

Step 4 (is optional): Write your answer in a complete statement

The three girls walk 1/5mile together to school

Answer: A

I hope this is correct and if not I apologize for giving false information.
