John saw 8 crabs for $14.00. She was offered 6 crabs for $15.00. The profit was $18.00, how much did John originally buy?

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

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:

you have to find the same variables -3n - 5n so this would be -3n +(-5n) which equals -9n
