Solving Logs 2
The second of 4 skills relating to logarithms actuallydoes not require any logs at all.
If the bases are equal then the expressions mustbe equal.
The example below is a base "7" problem.

If log7(x) = log7(y) and since log7 = log7 then x = y.

Since bases are equal, equate the expressions.
Example: When bases are equal.
-5x - 2 = 2x + 6
+5x       +5x
-2 = 7x + 6
-6           -6
-8 = 7x
