We can cancel log on both the sides if we have the same base on both sides. Here both sides log has base 10 thus we can cancel them.

Your idea is right but 'cancelling logs' is not the right phrase.

@Abhishek Sharma – Absolutely correct the term is taking "anti- log on both sides".mathematically its incorrect to cancel a mathematical operator. one can only use a operator to nulify the others effect.(eg differentiation and integration are operator which cancel out each others effect.)
Easy... Cancelling the logs will do...
Hello,
as given log(5x) = log(2x+9) ,
log(5x) = log(2x+9)
5x = 2x + 9
3x = 9
x = 3
Therefore , x = 3,
As base of log is 10. so, log5x=log(2x+9) can be written as 5x=2x+9 =3
Brute force with Python sympy library. I love checking to see what the library can do.
>>> from sympy import *
>>> x=symbols('x')
>>> solve(Eq(log(5 x)-log(2 x+9)),x)

remove log and do linear equation.
Just remove the log from the two sides and solve
Easy right, Sorry
log(5x)=log(2x+9) e^5x=e^(2x+9) 5x=2x+9 x=3
log(5x) = log(2x+9)
10^log5x = 10^log(2x+9)
By applying the laws of logarithms,
5x = 2x + 9
The rest is solved below
since log(5x)=log(2x+9), we can say that
5x=2x+9 [since both logs have same base, assumed to be 10]
3x=9
x=3

We need to solve the equation:
l o g 5 x = l o g ( 2 x + 9 )
Canceling l o g on both sides.
5 x = 2 x + 9
5 x − 2 x = 9
3 x = 9
x = 3
Thus, the answer is: x = 3
