Solution for log(x-1)-log(x)=log(x-3) equation:


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

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

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

Combine like terms: glox + -1glox = 0
-1glo + 0 = log(x + -3)
-1glo = log(x + -3)

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

Solving
-1glo = -3glo + glox

Solving for variable 'g'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'glo'.
glo(2 + -1x) = 0

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