SOLUTION: log(small)4(x+3) + log(small)4 (x-3)=2 the fours are small in the bottom corner so that's why i put small.

Start with the given equation.

Combine the logs using the identity

Rewrite the equation using the property: ====>

Square 4 to get 16

FOIL

Add 9 to both sides.

Combine like terms.

Take the square root of both sides.

or Break up the "plus/minus"

or Take the square root of 25 to get 5

So the possible solutions are or

However since you cannot take the log of a negative number, this rules out as a solution (since plugging this value in results in a negative argument)
