Solve for x:
(log(x))/(log(2)) + (log(3))/(log(2)) = 1 + (log(9))/(log(2))
Rewrite the left hand side by combining fractions. (log(x))/(log(2)) + (log(3))/(log(2)) = (log(x) + log(3))/(log(2)):
(log(x) + log(3))/(log(2)) = 1 + (log(9))/(log(2))
Multiply both sides by log(2):
log(x) + log(3) = log(2) + log(9)
Subtract log(3) from both sides:
log(x) = log(2) - log(3) + log(9)
log(2) - log(3) + log(9) = log(2) + log(1/3) + log(9) = log(2) + log(1/3) + log(9) = log((2 9)/3) = log(6):
log(x) = log(6)
Cancel logarithms by taking exp of both sides:
x = 6
