Solve the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle \log_{10}(x + 9991)-\log_{10}(x + 91)=2 .

Using the quotient property of logarithms gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \log_{10}\frac{x + 9991}{x + 91} = 2 . Making both sides of the equation exponents on the base LaTeX:  \displaystyle 10 gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{x + 9991}{x + 91}=100 . Clearing the fractions by multiplying by the LCD gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x + 9991=100 x + 9100 . Isolating LaTeX:  \displaystyle x gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x = 9 .
