Remember that the domain of logs is numbers
greater than 0 so we need to make sure that if we
put our answers back in for x we wont be trying
to take the log of 0 or a negative number.
not illegal since first log is of 4 and second
is of 1
ah oh---cant take the log of - 1 or - 4 so must
throw this solution out

put in calculator making sure to enclose the
numerator in parenthesis and the denominator in
parenthesis
Solve for the variable. If x is in more than one
term get x terms on one side and factor out the x
9
If you have an exponential equation with a base
e then isolate the e meaning get rid of other
terms and coefficients and then take the ln of
both sides. Remember that es and lns are
inverses and undo each other so theyll cancel
out and you can solve from there.
isolate the e
take the ln of both sides
