Answer:
Reorder the terms:
ln(-1 + x) + ln(x) = ln(56)
(-1 * ln + x * ln) + ln(x) = ln(56)
(-1ln + lnx) + ln(x) = ln(56)
Multiply ln * x
-1ln + lnx + lnx = ln(56)
Combine like terms: lnx + lnx = 2lnx
-1ln + 2lnx = ln(56)
Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
-1ln + 2lnx = 56ln
Solving
-1ln + 2lnx = 56ln
Solving for variable 'l'.
Move all terms containing l to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-56ln' to each side of the equation.
-1ln + -56ln + 2lnx = 56ln + -56ln
Combine like terms: -1ln + -56ln = -57ln
-57ln + 2lnx = 56ln + -56ln
Combine like terms: 56ln + -56ln = 0
-57ln + 2lnx = 0
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'ln'.
ln(-57 + 2x) = 0
