Sagot :

Sure, let's solve each equation step by step:

1. For the first equation:
[tex]\[ \log 11 - \log 5 = \log \left( \frac{11}{5} \right) \][/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]\[ \log 11 - \log 5 = \log \left( 2.2 \right) \][/tex]

2. For the second equation:
[tex]\[ \log \square + \log 3 = \log 15 \][/tex]
Since [tex]\(\log a + \log b = \log (a \cdot b)\)[/tex], it implies:
[tex]\[ \log \left( \square \cdot 3 \right) = \log 15 \][/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]\[ \square \cdot 3 = 15 \][/tex]
Solving for the unknown:
[tex]\[ \square = \frac{15}{3} = 5 \][/tex]

3. For the third equation:
[tex]\[ \log 25 = 2 \log \square \][/tex]
This implies:
[tex]\[ \log 25 = \log (\square^2) \][/tex]
Therefore from the properties of logarithms, if [tex]\(\log 25 = \log (\square^2)\)[/tex], it follows that:
[tex]\[ \square^2 = 25 \][/tex]
Solving for the unknown:
[tex]\[ \square = \sqrt{25} = 5 \][/tex]

Putting it all together, the values that make the equations true are:
[tex]\[ \begin{array}{l} \log 11 - \log 5 = \log \left(2.2\right) \\ \log 5 + \log 3 = \log 15 \\ \log 25 = 2 \log 5 \\ \end{array} \][/tex]
