Like terms must have the same variables and those variables must have the same powers.
and
are like terms, because they both have
and they both have
.
and
are NOT like terms, because the powers no longer match.
In your example, do you have the same variables and do the variables have the same powers in both expressions?
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>The value of x in log x + log 3 = log 18 is </em><em>6</em><em>.</em>
<u>Solution:</u>
From question, given that log x + log 3 = log 18 ---- eqn 1
Let us first simplify left hand side in above equation,
We know that log m + log n = log (mn) ----- eqn 2
Adding log m and log n results in the logarithm of the product of m and n (log mn)
By using eqn 2, log x + log 3 becomes log 3x.
log x + log 3 = log 3x ---- eqn 3
By substituting eqn 3 in eqn 1, we get
log 3x = log 18
Since we have log on both sides, we can cancel log and the above equation becomes,
3x = 18
Thus the value of x in log x + log3 = log18 is 6
