distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

if it's asking for the proper expression then it could be 8x= .8 each person would get a .1   portion of the turkey
