Solution for log(3x)=log(x+2)-log(4) equation:


Simplifying
log(3x) = log(x + 2) + -1log(4)

Remove parenthesis around (3x)
glo * 3x = log(x + 2) + -1log(4)

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
3glo * x = log(x + 2) + -1log(4)

Multiply glo * x
3glox = log(x + 2) + -1log(4)

Reorder the terms:
3glox = glo(2 + x) + -1log(4)
3glox = (2 * glo + x * glo) + -1log(4)
3glox = (2glo + glox) + -1log(4)

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
3glox = 2glo + glox + -1 * 4glo

Multiply -1 * 4
3glox = 2glo + glox + -4glo

Reorder the terms:
3glox = 2glo + -4glo + glox

Combine like terms: 2glo + -4glo = -2glo
3glox = -2glo + glox

Solving
3glox = -2glo + glox

Solving for variable 'g'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2glo'.
2glo(1 + x) = 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 '(1 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + x = 0 Solving 1 + x = 0 Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -1 x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 x = -1 Add '-1x' to each side of the equation. x + -1x = -1 + -1x Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0 0 = -1 + -1x Simplifying 0 = -1 + -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.
