Solve the equation: log (2x+1) – log 6 = 2

A
In this situation, it is necessary to use one of the logarithm formulas: log A - log B= log . Also,
B
because the logarithm does not have any base, it is considered that the base is 10. Taking this
into consideration, we have:

2 x +1 2 x+ 1 2 x +1 2 x +1
log = 2  log 10 =2  102=  100 =  100 x 6 = 2x+1  600 =
6 6 6 6
2x+1

599 x= 299.5
 2x= 600-1  2x=599 => x= =>
2
