YOU MEAN ALL LOGS ARE TO BASE 2....IF ALL LOGS ARE TO SAME BASE ITDOES NOT MATTER IF WE OMIT WRITING THAT BASE...SINCE LOG X TO BASE TO LOG 2 = LOG X/LOG 2...LIKE THAT EVERY TERM HAS LOG 2 IN THE DENOMINATOR ON BOTH SIDES WHICH WE CAN CANCEL OUT. SO WE GET
LOG(X+1)-LOG X=LOG 5
USING LOG A - LOG B = LOG (A/B) ..WE GET...
LOG(X+1)/X = LOG 5 ...TAKING ANTILOGS ,WE GET ..
(X+1)/X=5
5X=X+1
5X-X=1
4X=1
X=1/4
