Answer:

x=-4.67

Step-by-step explanation:

add like terms 3-17

then take x=2x-14

add 2x to both sides

3x=-14

divide by 3 and you get your answer

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2x + 3 - 17

x = 2x - 14 ( put together like terms )

x - 2x = -14 ( subtracted 2x from the right side and placed it on the left )

-x = -14 ( like terms )

x = 14 ( subtraction signs cancelled each other out )

Use the change-of-basis identity,

$\log_x(y) = \dfrac{\ln(y)}{\ln(x)}$

to write

$xyz = \log_a(bc) \log_b(ac) \log_c(ab) = \dfrac{\ln(bc) \ln(ac) \ln(ab)}{\ln(a) \ln(b) \ln(c)}$

Use the product-to-sum identity,

$\log_x(yz) = \log_x(y) + \log_x(z)$

to write

$xyz = \dfrac{(\ln(b) + \ln(c)) (\ln(a) + \ln(c)) (\ln(a) + \ln(b))}{\ln(a) \ln(b) \ln(c)}$

Redistribute the factors on the left side as

$xyz = \dfrac{\ln(b) + \ln(c)}{\ln(b)} \times \dfrac{\ln(a) + \ln(c)}{\ln(c)} \times \dfrac{\ln(a) + \ln(b)}{\ln(a)}$

and simplify to

$xyz = \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)}\right) \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)}\right) \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)}\right)$

Now expand the right side:

$xyz = 1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~+ \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(a)}{\ln(b)\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(b)}{\ln(b)\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)\ln(b)}{\ln(c)\ln(a)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(a)\ln(b)}{\ln(b)\ln(c)\ln(a)}$

Simplify and rewrite using the logarithm properties mentioned earlier.

$xyz = 1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(c)} + 1$
