Exponential and Log Equations

i) Find the exact solution to the equation log 3 (x+3) + log 3 (x+5) = 1
ii) Use a calculator to find a 4 decimal approximation to the answer.

Show work. Prepare the equation for the application of the inverse log function
by making the left side into the log of a single expression
(i.e. apply the first law of logarithms.)
