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?
