X = 24
X=2
Q1 Without using logarithms table, solve the equation
(3mks)
1
log( 5 x  4)  log( x  2)  log 27
3

SOLUTION Log (5x – 4) = log (x – 2 ) + log 3


Log (5x – 4) = log (3x – 6)
5x -4 = 3x – 6
2x = - 2
x=-1
Q2 Solve for x in the equation log 5  2  log2 x  10  logx  4
(3 marks)

SOLUTION  5   x4 
log   log 
 100   2 x  10 
x4
 52 x  10   100 x  4 

Q3 Simplify without using mathematical tables or a
calculator (3mks)
log 16 + log 81
log 8 + log 27

SOLUTION log(24 𝑥 34 )
log(23 x33 )

Q4 Given that log ( 3x – 7) = 3 log 5. Calculate x.


(2 mks)

SOLUTION 3x – 7 = 125
M1
3x = 132
M1
x= 44
Q5 Solve the simultaneous equation
2log y = log 2 + log t
2 y = 4t

SOLUTION y2 =2t from equation (i)


y= 2t from equation (ii)

y2 = y
y2-y = 0
y= 0 0r 1
y= 0 , 2t = 0
t =0

y=1 2t = 1
t=½
Q6 Solve log 2  7   log 2  7   3
(4mks)

SOLUTION  7
Log 2 3
 7
M1
  7
 23
  7
  7
8
  7
M1
+7 = 8( - 7)
M1
+7 = 8 - 56
 - 8 = - 56 – 7
-7 = -63
=9
