help with logarithmic equation? https://www4c.wolframalpha.com/Calculate/MSP/MSP15241h7ghb2df3b3if68000038c9a7dbb0i68de5?MSPStoreType=image/gif&s=23

I started out with log5(x) + log4(x-2) = 3, then rewrote it as the picture above (put into a wolframalpha link so it's simpler to see), now I'm unsure as to what step to take next.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

sorry to be picky, but your "log5(x)" really should be typed into the Equation Editor or the Draw utility, both below: |dw:1463614550439:dw|

OpenStudy (mathmale):

\[\log_{5}x \]

OpenStudy (chaotic_butterflies):

Oh, well I can do the drawing, but I'm not really well versed with the equation tools..

OpenStudy (chaotic_butterflies):

Actually I figured it out, so should I draw out all I've figured out by now?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

If you want my input, then yes, I'll need to see what you did.
