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)
