Let's solve this logarithmic equation step by step.
Using the logarithmic properties:
1. Logbase3(4X + 1) - Logbase3(3X - 5) = Logbase3((4X + 1)/(3X - 5))
Rearranging the equation:
2 = Logbase3((4X + 1)/(3X - 5))
Now, we can rewrite the equation in exponential form:
3^2 = (4X + 1)/(3X - 5)
9 = (4X + 1)/(3X - 5)
Cross-multiplying:
9(3X - 5) = 4X + 1
27X - 45 = 4X + 1
Subtracting 4X from both sides:
27X - 4X - 45 = 1
Simplifying the equation:
23X - 45 = 1
Adding 45 to both sides:
23X = 46
Dividing both sides by 23:
X = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is X = 2.
Logbase3(4X +1) -Logbase3(3X -5) =2
