Solution for log(x)+log(x-17)=log(12x) equation:


Simplifying
log(x) + log(x + -17) = log(12x)

Multiply glo * x
glox + log(x + -17) = log(12x)

Reorder the terms:
glox + glo(-17 + x) = log(12x)
glox + (-17 * glo + x * glo) = log(12x)
glox + (-17glo + glox) = log(12x)

Reorder the terms:
-17glo + glox + glox = log(12x)

Combine like terms: glox + glox = 2glox
-17glo + 2glox = log(12x)

Remove parenthesis around (12x)
-17glo + 2glox = glo * 12x

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
-17glo + 2glox = 12glo * x

Multiply glo * x
-17glo + 2glox = 12glox

Solving
-17glo + 2glox = 12glox

Solving for variable 'g'.

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

Add '-12glox' to each side of the equation.
-17glo + 2glox + -12glox = 12glox + -12glox

Combine like terms: 2glox + -12glox = -10glox
-17glo + -10glox = 12glox + -12glox

Combine like terms: 12glox + -12glox = 0
-17glo + -10glox = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1glo'.
-1glo(17 + 10x) = 0

Ignore the factor -1.

Subproblem 1

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

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(17 + 10x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 17 + 10x = 0 Solving 17 + 10x = 0 Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-17' to each side of the equation. 17 + -17 + 10x = 0 + -17 Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0 0 + 10x = 0 + -17 10x = 0 + -17 Combine like terms: 0 + -17 = -17 10x = -17 Add '-10x' to each side of the equation. 10x + -10x = -17 + -10x Combine like terms: 10x + -10x = 0 0 = -17 + -10x Simplifying 0 = -17 + -10x The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined. The solution to this equation could not be determined.
