Hi
log (x+2) + log (2x-3) =2
log (x+2)(2x-3) = 2
(x+2)(2x-3) = 100
2x^2 +x -100 = 0
x = 6.82548584904245 x > 0

Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=801 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 6.82548584904245, -7.32548584904245. Here's your graph:
