Solution for log(x-3)=log(17-4x) equation:


Simplifying
log(x + -3) = log(17 + -4x)

Reorder the terms:
glo(-3 + x) = log(17 + -4x)
(-3 * glo + x * glo) = log(17 + -4x)
(-3glo + glox) = log(17 + -4x)
-3glo + glox = (17 * glo + -4x * glo)
-3glo + glox = (17glo + -4glox)

Solving
-3glo + glox = 17glo + -4glox

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.
-3glo + -17glo + glox = 17glo + -17glo + -4glox

Combine like terms: -3glo + -17glo = -20glo
-20glo + glox = 17glo + -17glo + -4glox

Combine like terms: 17glo + -17glo = 0
-20glo + glox = 0 + -4glox
-20glo + glox = -4glox

Add '4glox' to each side of the equation.
-20glo + glox + 4glox = -4glox + 4glox

Combine like terms: glox + 4glox = 5glox
-20glo + 5glox = -4glox + 4glox

Combine like terms: -4glox + 4glox = 0
-20glo + 5glox = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '5glo'.
5glo(-4 + x) = 0

Ignore the factor 5.

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 '(-4 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -4 + x = 0 Solving -4 + x = 0 Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '4' to each side of the equation. -4 + 4 + x = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0 0 + x = 0 + 4 x = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4 x = 4 Add '-1x' to each side of the equation. x + -1x = 4 + -1x Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0 0 = 4 + -1x Simplifying 0 = 4 + -1x 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.
