Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant rule of logarithms is ...

  log(a/b) = log(a) -log(b)

This lets us combine the logs on the left to get ...

  log((6 +7x)/(3x -2)) = log(5)

Taking anti-logs gives ...

  (6 +7x)/(3x -2) = 5

  6 +7x = 5(3x -2) . . . . . multiply by (3x -2)

  7x +6 = 15x -10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  8x = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . add 10-7x to both sides

 x = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 8

The solution is x = 2.

_____

The graph shows the left side of the equation is equal to the right side for x=2.

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question :)

If you observe carefully, you can see that the graph is crossing x-axis at the points 1 and 9. This means x = 1 and x = 9 are the roots of the polynomials and x - 1 and x - 9 are thus the factors of the polynomial.

We can express the polynomial as the product of its factors. So the above polynomial can be expressed as (x - 1)(x - 9)

Thus, the answer to the question is option D
