Solve the logarithmic equation algebraically. Approximate the result to three decimal places. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.) ln(x + 6) = ln(x - 5) - ln(x + 5) x =
Added by Patrick B.
Step 1
First, we can use the properties of logarithms to combine the right side of the equation: ln(x - 5) - ln(x + 5) = ln[(x - 5)/(x + 5)] So, the equation becomes: ln(x + 6) = ln[(x - 5)/(x + 5)] Since the natural logarithms (ln) of two numbers are equal if and Show more…
