The sum of the logs is the log of the product.
 + \log_b(y) = \log_b(xy))
So
 + \ln(x\ +\ 12) = \ln(x^2\ +\ 12x)\ =\ 1)
But we also know that:
 \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ b^y = x)
So

Lnx+Ln(x+12)=1.
-------------------
ln(x(x+12)) = 1
x(x+12) = e^1
x^2 + 12x - e = 0
------------------
x = [-12 +- sqrt(144 - 4*1*-e)]/2
---
x = [-12 +- sqrt(154.87)]/2
----
x = [-12 +- 12.44)]/2
----
Only the positive solution satisfies the original equation:
x = [-12 + 12.44]/2
---
x = 0.44/2 = 0.22
-------------------
