Question: Solve the equation:

[tex]\ln (7x-4)=\text{ ln(2x+11)}[/tex]

Solution:

applying the laws of logarithms (applying the inverse function of the logarithm function) we get:

[tex]e^{\ln (7x-4)}=e^{\text{ ln(2x+11)}}[/tex]

this is equivalent to:

[tex]7x-4=\text{ 2x+11}[/tex]

putting similar terms together we get:

[tex]7x-2x=11+4[/tex]

this is equivalent to:

[tex]5x\text{ = 15}[/tex]

solving for x, we get:

[tex]x\text{ = }\frac{15}{5}\text{ = 3}[/tex]

then, we can conclude that the solution of the equation is:

[tex]x\text{ = 3}[/tex]
