What if the log equations aren't all set up in form #1 or form #2 to zap with the inverse?

No problem!  We just use the combining trick from a couple of sections ago.

It's really easy!

Remember that there are two forms to aim for:

	We'll go for this one when there is a term in the equation that's just a number without a log.

 

	We'll go for this one when every term in the equation has a log.

Everyone has a log, so it's form #2.

To get it set up, just combine each side:

Now, zap it with the inverse:
