u know the properties of logarithm, @mathnoob1 ?

well doesnt matter..
use this,,log a +log b = log ab
and if log m = log n
then m=n
try now
note : the bases should be equal here..

if apply the properties, u will get x(x-3)=4
now, solve this

x²-3x=4 ???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
factor your equation
