How do you solve Log_(5)x + log_(3)x = 1? Precalculus Properties of Logarithmic Functions Common Logs 1 Answer Cesareo R. Jun 27, 2016 x = 3^{(log_e 5)/(log_e 15)} Explanation: We know that log_a b = (log_eb)/(log_e a) Then Log_(5)x + log_(3)x = 1->(log_e x)/(log_e 5)+(log_e x)/(log_e 3)=1 or log_e x= (log_e 5 cdot log_e 3)/(log_e 5 + log_e 3) or x = e^{(log_e 5 cdot log_e 3)/(log_e 5 + log_e 3)} x = 3^{(log_e 5)/(log_e 15)} Answer link Related questions What is the common logarithm of 10?
