log(x+2)=log(x)+ 2
---
log(x+2) - log(x) = 2
---
log[(x+2)/x] = 2
---
(x+2)/x = 10^2
x+2 = 100x
99x = 2
x = 2/99

log%28x%2B2%29=log+x%2B2
rewriting the 2 as 2log(10) we get
log%28x%2B2%29=+log%28x%29+%2B+2log%2810%29
then by power rule, we get
log%28x%2B2%29=+log%28x%29+%2B+log%2810%29%5E2
Using rules of logs, we get
log%28x%2B2%29+=+log%28100x%29
next getting rid of the logs, we
%28x%2B2%29+=+100x
solving for x, we get
x+=+2%2F99
