Knowing that logarithm functions and exponential functions are inverse to each other, the procees to convert a logarithmic equation to its equivalent is to perform all the operations to set an equation of the typ:

,
then invert to show it equivalent form:

.
With that you have solved the equation for x.
There is a common denominator of 12 among those fractions.
Answer:
<em>The price at which A bought the item is $1200.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose, the price at which A bought the item is
dollar.
A sells the item to B at 15% profit. That means, the selling price to B
dollar.
B sells the same item to C at 20% profit. That means, the selling price to C
dollar.
Given that, C pays $1656 for the item. So, the equation will be.......

So, the price at which A bought the item is $1200.
Remember
(ab)(cd)=(a)(b)(c)(d)=(ac)(bd),
and
(x^m)(x^n)=x^(m+n)
(9x^2y^3)(7xy^2)=
(9)(x^2)(y^3)(7)(x)(y^2)=
(9)(7)(x^2)(x)(y^3)(y^2)=
(63)(x^3)(y^5)=
63x^3y^5
