<strong>Algebra</strong>/<strong>Trig</strong> <strong>Review</strong>So, the two solutions are x = 0 and2x = − .5Solving Logarithm EquationsSolving logarithm equations are similar to exponential equations. First, we isolate thelogarithm on one side by itself with a coefficient of one. Then we use Property 4 fromthe Logarithm Properties section with an appropriate choice of b. In choosing theappropriate b, we need to remember that the b MUST match the base on the logarithm!Solve each of the following equations.1.
