Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
-9 = k - 6
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>k</u></em>
- Add 6 to both sides: -3 = k
- Rewrite: k = -3
Applying log rules leaves us with the following equation:
x^2 + 8 = 6x
Change to standard form and solve using factoring.
x^2 - 6x + 8 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x = 4
x = 2
