Question

The answer to this equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation

$log5x=log(2x+9)$

This can be rewritten as

$log5x-log(2x+9)=0$

Now using the quotient rule for logarithms we can combine these two

$log(\frac{5x}{2x+9} )=0$

Next we can remove the log by using an inverse operation

$10^{log(\frac{5x}{2x+9} )} =10^0\\\\\frac{5x}{2x+9}=1$

Now we can solve for x

$\frac{5x}{2x+9}=1\\\\5x=2x+9\\\\3x=9\\\\x=3$
