Notice that the value &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;x= -2 &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;is &amp;nbsp;NOT &amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp;SOLUTION &amp;nbsp;to the given equation.



It is a typical &amp;nbsp;EXTRANEOUS &amp;nbsp;solution, &amp;nbsp;which should be &amp;nbsp;EXLUDED &amp;nbsp;from the answer list after final checking,


since it produces negative argument of the logarithm in the very first term of the original equation.
