`ln(4x-7)=ln(x+11)` Solve the equation. Check for extraneous solutions.

`ln(4x-7)=ln(x+11)`


Using one to one property of logarithms,


`4x-7=x+11`


`=>4x-x=11+7`


`=>3x=18`


`=>x=18/3`


`=>x=6`


Plug back the solution in the equation to check the solution,


`ln(4*6-7)=ln(6+11)`


`ln(24-7)=ln(17)`


`ln(17)=ln(17)`


So, its true.


Solution of the equation is 6.
