Solve the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle \log_{3}(x + 29)-\log_{3}(x + 11)=1 .

Using the quotient property of logarithms gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \log_{3}\frac{x + 29}{x + 11} = 1 . Making both sides of the equation exponents on the base LaTeX:  \displaystyle 3 gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{x + 29}{x + 11}=3 . Clearing the fractions by multiplying by the LCD gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x + 29=3 x + 33 . Isolating LaTeX:  \displaystyle x gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x = -2 .
