To solve the equation, we first use the property of logarithms that states that if log_a(b) = log_a(c), then b = c.
So, we have:
2x - 8 = 4x - 10
Simplifying further:
2x = 4x - 2
2x - 4x = -2
-2x = -2
x = 1
Therefore, the solution to the equation log_4(2x-8) = log_5(4x-10) is x = 1.
Solve the following logarithmic equation for x.
log_4(2x-8)=log_5(4x-10)
