Given the logarithm
equation:
log (2a-3) -2 = log
(a+3)
We need to solve for
"a"
First we will combine similar
terms.
==> log (2a-3) - log (a+3) =
2
Now we will use the logarithm properties to
solve.
We know that log a - log b = log
a/b
==> log (2a-3)/(a+3) =
2
Now we will rewrite into the exponent
form.
==> (2a-3)/(a+3) =
10^2
==> (2a-3)/(a+3) =
100
Now we will multiply by
(a+3)
==> 2a -3 =
100(a+3)
==> 2a -3 = 100a
+300
==> 98a =
-303
==> a = -303/98 =
-3.01
But the values of a is not defined for
log (2a-3) and log 9a+3)
Then, the equation
has no solution.
