SOLUTION: Please help me solve this equation: Solve: log2 (x+5) + log2 (x+1) = 5

Please help me solve this equation:

Solve:  log2 (x+5) + log2 (x+1) = 5

The following response from the other person doesn't do much to answer this problem, or help
the "POSTER: "log(x+1)/log 2 +log*x+5)/log(2)=5"

, with x > - 1
        ------ Applying  = 
          
                       ---- Converting to EXPONENTIAL form
                      
                    
                (x - 3)(x + 9) = 0
                               x - 3 = 0     or      x + 9 = 0 ---- Setting each FACTOR equal to 0
                                     x = 3    or              x = - 9 (IGNORE)

The above x-value, - 9, is IGNORED because x MUST be > - 1, and x = - 9 is CLEARLY NOT!

So, only VALID/ACCEPTABLE solution is: x = 3
