Question

Could someone please help me on this problem. I'm really confused, and this assignment is due tomorrow.

Solve the logarithmic equation algebraically. Approximate the result to three decimal places.

log4x-log4(x-1)=1/2

To start off the equation, I know you would do the following:

log4(x/x-1)=1/2

After that, I'm just not sure how to solve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

log4 ( ) = 1/2
or ( )=4^1/2
or ( )=2

2x-2=x
x=2
