We'll change the bases of logarithms into the common base
10.
log2 (x) = log x/log
2
log3 (x) = log x/log 3
We'll
re-write the equation:
log x/log 2 + log x/log 3 =
1
We'll calculate the LCD = (log 2)*(log
3)
We'll multiply all over by (log 2)*(log
3):
(log 2)*(log 3)*(log x)/log 2 + (log 2)*(log 3)*(log
x)/log 3 = (log 2)*(log 3)
(log 3)*(log x) + (log 2)*(log
x) = (log 2)*(log 3)
We'll factorize by log
x:
(log x)*[(log 3) + (log 2)] = (log 2)*(log
3)
We'll apply the product property of
logarithms:
log x = (log 2)*(log
3)/log(2*3)
log x = (log 2)*(log 3)/log
6
Since the base is 10, we'll take antilog and we'll
get:
x = 10^[(log 2)*(log 3)/log
6]
The solution of the given equation is x =
10^[(log 2)*(log 3)/log 6].
