(This is absolutely not a HW problem) I had posted in a much older thread, so just wanted to post again in a new one. How would you solve, for x:
5x = 4x + 1
x = 1 is clearly an answer, but I get struck when trying to solve using logs.
If I take log5 of both sides I get,
x = log5 ( 4x+ 1) and of course you don't distribute the log function. So how does one solve this?
