<PRE><B>Question 750469</B>
log  (x   + 4 ) -log  (x+2 ) = 3 + log  (x - 2 )
   10              10                10

------------------------
log[(x+4)/(x+2)]- log(x-2) = 3 
----------------------------
 log[(x+4)/((x+2)(x-2))] = 3
-------
 log[(x+4)/(x^2-4)] = 3
------------------
(x+4)/(x^2-4) = 10^3 = 1000
-----
(x+4) = 1000x^2-4000
----
1000x^2 -x -4004 = 0
x = 2.0015
