Question

loga(x-5)-loga(x+9)=loga(x-7)-loga(x+9)

all the a's are lower

please show work

Answer 1

log [(x-5)/(x+9)]= log[(x-7)/(x+9) ]

(x-5)(x+9) = (x-7)(x+9)

x-5 = x- 7
no solution

Answer 2

x-5/x+9 is equal to x-7/x+9

(x+9 )(x-5) is equal to (x-7)(x+9)
x2-5x+9x -40 equals x2-9x-7x-63
nw solve from there:)
