Start by using the Change of Base Formula.
x=1
We want to solve an equation involving more than one logarithm. To do so, we will start by using the Change of Base Formula.
log_c a = log a/log c
log_c a = log_b a/log_b c
LHS-log x/log 6=RHS-log x/log 6
Factor out log x
Now, we should recall the Zero Product Property to find the solution of the given equation. Since the equation is already written in factored form, we can already use the Zero Product Property. Taking into consideration, that 1log 9 - 1log 6 is a number different than 0, we can obtain the solution. log x ( 1/log 9 - 1/log 6) = 0 ⇕ log x=0 ⇕ x=1
Since substituting 1 for x in the given equation produces a true statement, our answer is correct.
