ln(x+8)-ln(x-2)=ln(x)

Solution for ln(x+8)-ln(x-2)=ln(x) equation:

Simplifying
ln(x + 8) + -1ln(x + -2) = ln(x)

Reorder the terms:
ln(8 + x) + -1ln(x + -2) = ln(x)
(8 * ln + x * ln) + -1ln(x + -2) = ln(x)
(8ln + lnx) + -1ln(x + -2) = ln(x)

Reorder the terms:
8ln + lnx + -1ln(-2 + x) = ln(x)
8ln + lnx + (-2 * -1ln + x * -1ln) = ln(x)
8ln + lnx + (2ln + -1lnx) = ln(x)

Reorder the terms:
8ln + 2ln + lnx + -1lnx = ln(x)

Combine like terms: 8ln + 2ln = 10ln
10ln + lnx + -1lnx = ln(x)

Combine like terms: lnx + -1lnx = 0
10ln + 0 = ln(x)
10ln = ln(x)

Multiply ln * x
10ln = lnx

Solving
10ln = lnx

Solving for variable 'l'.

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

Add '-1lnx' to each side of the equation.
10ln + -1lnx = lnx + -1lnx

Combine like terms: lnx + -1lnx = 0
10ln + -1lnx = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'ln'.
ln(10 + -1x) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'ln' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

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 '(10 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
10 + -1x = 0

Solving
10 + -1x = 0

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

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -1x = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -10
-1x = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
-1x = -10

Add 'x' to each side of the equation.
-1x + x = -10 + x

Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0
0 = -10 + x

Simplifying
0 = -10 + x
