3-log(x+2)=5

Solution for 3-log(x+2)=5 equation:

Simplifying
3 + -1log(x + 2) = 5

Reorder the terms:
3 + -1glo(2 + x) = 5
3 + (2 * -1glo + x * -1glo) = 5
3 + (-2glo + -1glox) = 5

Solving
3 + -2glo + -1glox = 5

Solving for variable 'g'.

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

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -2glo + -3 + -1glox = 5 + -3

Reorder the terms:
3 + -3 + -2glo + -1glox = 5 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -2glo + -1glox = 5 + -3
-2glo + -1glox = 5 + -3

Combine like terms: 5 + -3 = 2
-2glo + -1glox = 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + -2glo + -1glox = 2 + -2

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