Question 33989: 2 log(x+2)+log4 = log x + 4 log3

i assume that the logs are all base10? If so,

2log(x+2)+log4 = log x + 4 log3
2log(x+2) = log x + 4 log3 - log4
2log(x+2) - log x = 4 log3 - log4



Now, raise both terms to power 10, to cancel the logs:







This is just a simple quadratic now, to either factorise if you can spot it or use the quadratic formula if not.




Working this through gives x=16 or x=0.25
