I assume that the logarithms are base 2. From log2(x) + log2(x+1) = 1 we have, using the property of logarithms, x*(x+1) = 2 Making FOIL, you get x^2 + x - 2 = 0. Factor (x+2)*(x-1) = 0. We deny the negative root x= -2, since it does not work under logarithm. The only remaining solution is x= 1. ANSWER
