2*log(x-1)=2+log(100)
2log(x-1)-log(100)=2
log(x-1)^2-log(100)=2
log((1/100)(x-1)^2)=2

What you do next depends on what the base is. Assuming you are using some base, b, you would transform:

Also, looking carefully at the factor on the right side,

Seeing that, the base must be equal to the expression shown in the same position on the rightside:
.

From this,
You need to know the value of b in order to find anything further.

Solve and check
a) 2log(x-1) = 2+ log 100
2log(x-1) = 2+2
2log(x-1) = 4
log(x-1) =2=log100
x-1=100)
x=101
check:
2log(x-1)=2log(100)=2*2=4
2+log 100=2+2=4
