Solution for log(x+5)=log(3x-17) equation:


Simplifying
log(x + 5) = log(3x + -17)

Reorder the terms:
glo(5 + x) = log(3x + -17)
(5 * glo + x * glo) = log(3x + -17)
(5glo + glox) = log(3x + -17)

Reorder the terms:
5glo + glox = glo(-17 + 3x)
5glo + glox = (-17 * glo + 3x * glo)
5glo + glox = (-17glo + 3glox)

Solving
5glo + glox = -17glo + 3glox

Solving for variable 'g'.

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

Add '17glo' to each side of the equation.
5glo + 17glo + glox = -17glo + 17glo + 3glox

Combine like terms: 5glo + 17glo = 22glo
22glo + glox = -17glo + 17glo + 3glox

Combine like terms: -17glo + 17glo = 0
22glo + glox = 0 + 3glox
22glo + glox = 3glox

Add '-3glox' to each side of the equation.
22glo + glox + -3glox = 3glox + -3glox

Combine like terms: glox + -3glox = -2glox
22glo + -2glox = 3glox + -3glox

Combine like terms: 3glox + -3glox = 0
22glo + -2glox = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2glo'.
2glo(11 + -1x) = 0

Ignore the factor 2.

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 '(11 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 11 + -1x = 0 Solving 11 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-11' to each side of the equation. 11 + -11 + -1x = 0 + -11 Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -11 -1x = 0 + -11 Combine like terms: 0 + -11 = -11 -1x = -11 Add 'x' to each side of the equation. -1x + x = -11 + x Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0 0 = -11 + x Simplifying 0 = -11 + 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.
