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


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

Reorder the terms:
glo(5 + x) + -1log(3x) = log(x + -1)
(5 * glo + x * glo) + -1log(3x) = log(x + -1)
(5glo + glox) + -1log(3x) = log(x + -1)

Remove parenthesis around (3x)
5glo + glox + -1glo * 3x = log(x + -1)

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
5glo + glox + -1 * 3glo * x = log(x + -1)

Multiply -1 * 3
5glo + glox + -3glo * x = log(x + -1)

Multiply glo * x
5glo + glox + -3glox = log(x + -1)

Combine like terms: glox + -3glox = -2glox
5glo + -2glox = log(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
5glo + -2glox = glo(-1 + x)
5glo + -2glox = (-1 * glo + x * glo)
5glo + -2glox = (-1glo + glox)

Solving
5glo + -2glox = -1glo + glox

Solving for variable 'g'.

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

Add 'glo' to each side of the equation.
5glo + glo + -2glox = -1glo + glo + glox

Combine like terms: 5glo + glo = 6glo
6glo + -2glox = -1glo + glo + glox

Combine like terms: -1glo + glo = 0
6glo + -2glox = 0 + glox
6glo + -2glox = glox

Add '-1glox' to each side of the equation.
6glo + -2glox + -1glox = glox + -1glox

Combine like terms: -2glox + -1glox = -3glox
6glo + -3glox = glox + -1glox

Combine like terms: glox + -1glox = 0
6glo + -3glox = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '3glo'.
3glo(2 + -1x) = 0

Ignore the factor 3.

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 '(2 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + -1x = 0 Solving 2 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + -1x = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -2 -1x = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 -1x = -2 Add 'x' to each side of the equation. -1x + x = -2 + x Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0 0 = -2 + x Simplifying 0 = -2 + x 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.
