HOW would I do this natural log problem?

Devil’s Advocette asked:


Directions: Solve by isolationg the natural log and exponentiating both sides. Express answer in terms of e. Then use calculator to approximate solution.

ln(x+1) - lnx = 1

I know how to do these when it’s one natural log, but am confused on how to do it with two of them. Do log properties apply to natural logs?

The answer is supposed to come out to 1/(e-1) = aprox. 0.58
Please show me HOW to do this, thank you.
kept getting screwy answers lol, thanks for the help
