    To Solve Logarithmic Equations:
    1. Get all the logs on one side and condense them down to one log ( log b M = c )
    2. Change to exponential form ( log b M = c means b c = M )
    3. Solve
    4. CHECK the proposed solutions in the original equation the make the domain positive

    Solve the following. Give the exact value and the decimal approximation to the nearest hundredth.
