Log₄(2 – x) = log₄(–5x – 18).
Since the logs have the same basis (4) & are equal then:
(2 – x) = (–5x – 18). . Now solve for x & you will find x = -5
To answer you get the same denominator so multiply both denominators with each other and do the same with the top so 25 will be at both bottoms and well 15/25 and 8/25. Then solve
