<PRE><B>Question 1189428</B>
&lt;br&gt;
Unclear...!&lt;br&gt;
What does this mean: &quot;solve the equation for underline x&gt;0&quot;?&lt;br&gt;
Furthermore, the given information appears to be inconsistent, so it is probably shown incorrectly.&lt;br&gt;
Given&lt;br&gt;
log2 (3x + 1) + log8 (x - 1) ^ 2 = 6,&lt;br&gt;
if in fact (as you say we are supposed to show)&lt;br&gt;
log8 (x - 1) ^ 2 = 6&lt;br&gt;
then&lt;br&gt;
log2 (3x + 1) = 0&lt;br&gt;
which makes 3x+1=1, which means x=0; and then log8 (x - 1) ^ 2 is NOT equal to 6.&lt;br&gt;
Re-post, showing the information correctly, and making it clear what the last part of the problem is.&lt;br&gt;
