Solve log4 (y – 9) + log4 3 = log4 81.

y = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

log4 (y – 9) + log4 3 = log4 81.

We know from the property of logs that if the bases are the same, when we subtract logs, we can divide what is inside

loga (b) + loga (b) = loga (b*c)

Lets simplify the expression log4( (y-9)*3) = log4 (81)

Since the bases are the same, what is inside the parentheses on the left hand side  must be equal to what is inside the parentheses o the right hand side

(y-9)*3 = 81

Divide each side by 3

(y-9)*3 /3= 81/3

y-9 = 27

Add 9 to each side

y-9+9 = 27+9

y = 36
