You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log(4,(4x-1))-log(4,(x+3))=-5 SHOULD be the way to put it in regular text, and on the site renders as log%284%2C%284x-1%29%29-log%284%2C%28x%2B3%29%29=-5.

log%284%2C%28%284x-1%29%2F%28x%2B3%29%29%29=-5

4%5E%28-5%29=%28%284x-1%29%2F%28x%2B3%29%29

1%2F4%5E5=%284x-1%29%2F%28x%2B3%29

1%2F1024=%284x-1%29%2F%28x%2B3%29

x%2B3=1024%284x-1%29

x%2B3=4096x-1024

3%2B1024=4095x

4095x=1027

x=1027%2F4095
