You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log2=log(6+4x)+log(3x+6)
-----
log[(4x+6)(3x+6)] = log(2)
-----
(4x+6)(3x+6) = 2
-------
2*3(x+3)(x+2) = 2
---
(x+3)(x+2) = 1/3
----
x^2 + 5x + 6 = 1/3
------
3x^2 + 15x + 17 = 0
---
Solve using the Quadratic Formula.
============
x = -1.7362
---
Note: That value of "x" makes 4x+6 be negative.
---
Conclusion: No solution.
