You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"log%28x%5E2-4%29-log%28x%2B2%29=log%283-x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28%28x%5E2-4%29%2F%28x%2B2%29%29=log%283-x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E2-4%29%2F%28x%2B2%29=+3-x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E2-4%29=+%28x%2B2%29%283-x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-4+=+3x-x%5E2%2B6-2x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-4+=+x-x%5E2%2B6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2-4+=+x%2B6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2-x-4+=+6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2-x-10+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x-5%29%28x%2B2%29+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = {-2, 5/2}
\n" ); document.write( "you can throw out the negative solution (extraneous) leaving:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5/2
