Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2log(x-3)=log25
log(x-3)²=log25 cancel out log on both sides
(x-3)²=25
x²-6x+9=25
x²-6x+9-25=0
x²-6x-16=0 factorize
x²+2x-8x-16=0
x(x+2)-8(x+2)
(x-8)(x+2)=0
x-8=0 or x+2=0
x=8 or x=-2
x=-2 cannot be considered because of the -ve sign.
x=8.
check
2log(x-3)
2log(8-3)
2log5
log5²=25
therefore LHS=RHS
