Solve the following equation for x

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the laws of logarithms
• log x + log y ⇔ log(xy)
• log x = log y ⇒ x = y
Given
logx + log(x - 3) = log 3x
log x(x - 3) = log 3x, hence
x(x - 3) = 3x
x² - 3x = 3x ( subtract 3x from both sides )
x² - 6x = 0 ← factor out x from each term
x(x - 6) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x = 0
x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6
Solutions are x = 0, x = 6 → C
Answer: OPTION A
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to remember the logarithms properties:
[tex]log(a)+log(b)=log(ab)\\\\log(a)-log(b)=log(\frac{a}{b})\\\\log(a)^b=b*log(a)[/tex]
Rewrite the equation:
[tex]log(x(x-3))=log(3)+log(x)[/tex]
Like this logarithm has base 10, you can make this procedure:
[tex]log(x(x-3))-log(x)=log(3)[/tex]
[tex]log\frac{(x(x-3))}{(x)}=log(3)[/tex]
[tex]log(x-3)=log(3)[/tex]
[tex]10^{log((x-3))}=10^{log(3)}[/tex]
Then:
[tex](x-3)=3[/tex]
Now you need to solve for the variable "x":
[tex]x=3+3\\x=6[/tex]
