log(x+1)+log(x-2)=1
------------
log((x+1)*(x-2)) = 1
(x+1)*(x-2) = 10


(x-4)*(x+3) = 0
x = 4
x = -3

In general:
so,

also,

If the logs are equal, the antilogs are equal





this result doesn't work, becase it
gives me a and no log can give a
negative answer
check:




(inaccuracy is due to rounding off)
OK
