<PRE><B>Question 735016</B>
log4(x+5)=3+log4(x+2)&lt;P&gt;
log4(x+5) - log4(x+2) = &lt;P&gt;
Remember that log(x) - log(y) = log(x/y) and logx(y)=a means x^a = y&lt;P&gt;
log4((x+5)/(x+2)) = 3&lt;P&gt;
4^3 = x+5/x+2&lt;P&gt;
64 = x+5/x+2&lt;P&gt;
64x + 128 = x+5&lt;P&gt;
63x = -123&lt;P&gt;
x = -123/63 = approximately 1.9524
