Algebra 2: Solving Logarithmic Equations

Solve each equation, then check every candidate against the domain (each logarithm's argument must be positive) and reject any extraneous solution.

X = 2X = 3X = 4X = 5X = 6X = 8X = 9X = 25
  1. 1.
    Solve for x and check the domain: log₂(3x - 5) = 2
  2. 2.
    Solve for x and reject any extraneous solution: log₅(x) + log₅(x - 20) = 3
  3. 3.
    Solve for x and check the domain: log₂(3x - 22) = 1
  4. 4.
    Solve for x and reject any extraneous solution: log(x) + log(x - 3) = 1
  5. 5.
    Solve for x and check the domain: log₃(x + 5) = 2
  6. 6.
    Solve for x and reject any extraneous solution: log₃(x) + log₃(x - 6) = 3
  7. 7.
    Solve for x and check the domain: log(x + 991) = 3
  8. 8.
    Solve for x and reject any extraneous solution: log₂(x) + log₂(x - 1) = 1
  9. 9.
    Solve for x and check the domain: log₅(4x - 19) = 1
  10. 10.
    Solve for x and reject any extraneous solution: log₃(x) + log₃(x - 8) = 2
