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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Solving
-12glo + 2glox = 17glox

Solving for variable 'g'.

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

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

Combine like terms: 2glox + -17glox = -15glox
-12glo + -15glox = 17glox + -17glox

Combine like terms: 17glox + -17glox = 0
-12glo + -15glox = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-3glo'.
-3glo(4 + 5x) = 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 '(4 + 5x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 4 + 5x = 0 Solving 4 + 5x = 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 + 5x = 0 + -4 Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + 5x = 0 + -4 5x = 0 + -4 Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4 5x = -4 Add '-5x' to each side of the equation. 5x + -5x = -4 + -5x Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0 0 = -4 + -5x Simplifying 0 = -4 + -5x 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.
