solve the equation
loga(x-5)- loga (x+9)=loga(x-7)-loga(x+9)
all a's are lower

collect logs
log((x-5)/(x+9)) = log((x-7)/(x+9))
(x-5)/(x+9) = (x-7)/(x-9)
assuming x ≠ -9,
x-5 = x-7
5 = 7
no solution - typo?
even easier, add log(x+9) to both sides to get
log(x-5) = log(x-7)
x-5 = x-7
no solution
log((x-5)/(x+9)) = log((x-7)/(x+9))
(x-5)/(x+9) = (x-7)/(x-9)
assuming x ≠ -9,
x-5 = x-7
