So you need a solution for this: $\displaystyle \frac { \log _{ 10 }{ x } }{ \log _{ 10 }{ 3 } } +\frac { \log _{ 10 }{ 25 } }{ \log _{ 10 }{ 3 } } +\frac { \log _{ 10 }{ 9 } }{ \log _{ 10 }{ x } } =\frac { \log _{ 10 }{ 27 } }{ \log _{ 10 }{ 3 } } +\frac { \log _{ 10 }{ 25 } }{ \log _{ 10 }{ x } }$ Last edited by perfect_world; May 29th, 2014 at 08:01 AM.
