Solve the logarithmic equation explaining the properties used log 6 (3x+14)-log 6 (5) = log 6 (2x)

First, we have to use the quotient property of the logarithms:


 log 6 [(3x+14)/5] = log 6 (2x)


Now, we'll have to use the one to one property, that means that:


 log 6 [(3x+14)/5] = log 6 (2x) if and only if (3x+14)/5=2x


After cross multiplying, we'll get:


3x+14=10x


We'll move the terms to one side:


10x-3x=14


7x=14


x=14/7


x=2


If we'll check the solution into equation, we'll get:


log 6 [(3*2+14)/5] = log 6 (2*2)


log 6 [(20)/5] = log 6 (4)


log 6 (4) = log 6 (4)

How far is Iago justified in hating Othello?

Iago hates Othello for some of reasons. First reason could be that Othello promoted Cassio in his place; however, Iago wants it and he cosid...
