First get everything in terms of logs
1 = log(x)
If the base is , then I can write

, so

Now rewrite it

The general rule for logs is:
so,


If the logs are equal, the numbers are equal

logX + logX + 1 = log12
2logX+1=log12
1=log12-2logx
1=log12-logx^2



By basic definition of logarithms:




Since x must be a positive number,



R^2
