Solution for lg(x-1)=lg(5x-3) equation:


Simplifying
lg(x + -1) = lg(5x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
gl(-1 + x) = lg(5x + -3)
(-1 * gl + x * gl) = lg(5x + -3)
(-1gl + glx) = lg(5x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
-1gl + glx = gl(-3 + 5x)
-1gl + glx = (-3 * gl + 5x * gl)
-1gl + glx = (-3gl + 5glx)

Solving
-1gl + glx = -3gl + 5glx

Solving for variable 'g'.

Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3gl' to each side of the equation.
-1gl + 3gl + glx = -3gl + 3gl + 5glx

Combine like terms: -1gl + 3gl = 2gl
2gl + glx = -3gl + 3gl + 5glx

Combine like terms: -3gl + 3gl = 0
2gl + glx = 0 + 5glx
2gl + glx = 5glx

Add '-5glx' to each side of the equation.
2gl + glx + -5glx = 5glx + -5glx

Combine like terms: glx + -5glx = -4glx
2gl + -4glx = 5glx + -5glx

Combine like terms: 5glx + -5glx = 0
2gl + -4glx = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2gl'.
2gl(1 + -2x) = 0

Ignore the factor 2.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'gl' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying gl = 0 Solving gl = 0 Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying gl = 0 The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
