Question

What is the solution of log(t-3) = log(17-4t)?
​

Answer 1

the solution of (17-4t) is (17-43)

Answer 2

t = 4

Explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms

log x = log y ⇒ x = y

Given

log(t - 3) = log(17 - 4t), then

t - 3 = 17 - 4t ( add 4t to both sides )

5t -3 = 17 ( add 3 to both sides )

5t = 20 ( divide both sides by 5 )

t = 4
