Question

Describe the similarities and differences in solving the equations 4^5x-1=16 and log4(10x+2)=1 Then solve each question

Answer 1

4^5x-1=16

4^5x-1=4²eliminate 4

5x-1=2

5x=2+1

5x=3

x=3/5

log4(10x+2)=1

log4(10x+2)=log4 ⁴

eliminate log4

10x+2=4

10x=4-2

10x=2

x=2/10

x=1/5

difference between the is we use law of indices and logarithm to the questions respectively

similarities is we eliminate there base
