We can solve these types of problems by using the inverse property to recover the operands. And when we do we notice that this equation has no solution because 4x+8 and 4x+5 can never be equal:

%0D%0ALogbase6%284x%2B8%29=logbase6%284x%2B5%29%0D%0A

%0D%0A6%5ELogbase6%284x%2B8%29=6%5Elogbase6%284x%2B5%29%0D%0A
4x%2B8=4x%2B5
8=5
which is a contradiction :(
