Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation

[tex]log5x=log(2x+9)[/tex]

This can be rewritten as

[tex]log5x-log(2x+9)=0[/tex]

Now using the quotient rule for logarithms we can combine these two

[tex]log(\frac{5x}{2x+9} )=0[/tex]

Next we can remove the log by using an inverse operation

[tex]10^{log(\frac{5x}{2x+9} )} =10^0\\\\\frac{5x}{2x+9}=1[/tex]

Now we can solve for x

[tex]\frac{5x}{2x+9}=1\\\\5x=2x+9\\\\3x=9\\\\x=3[/tex]
