Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rules of logarithms
logx - logy = log ([tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex] )
logx = logy , then x = y
Given
log(x) - log(x + 6)
= log([tex]\frac{x}{x+6}[/tex] )
Then
log )[tex]\frac{x}{x+6}[/tex] ) = log([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ) , thus
[tex]\frac{x}{x+6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
2x = x + 6 ( subtract x from both sides )
x = 6
