+log%28%28x%2B2%29%29=1-log%28%28x-1%29%29+
log%28%28x%2B2%29%29%2Blog%28%28x-1%29%29=1
log%28%28x%2B2%29%28x-1%29%29=1
%28x%2B2%29%28x-1%29=10
x%5E2-x%2B2x-2=10
x%5E2%2Bx-2=10
x%5E2%2Bx-12=0
%28x%2B4%29%28x-3%29=0
Two solutions:
x%2B4=0
x=-4
This solution is not allowed since the log function requires positive arguments.
