log4x = log5 + log(x+2)

Please include steps, thank you.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

log (4x) log (5)+log (x +2
Step 2

Solve:

log (4x) log (5)+log (x +2)
log a log blog a b]
log (4x) log (5)-(x +2)
log (4x) log (5x +10)
taking anti-log to the both sides:
e log (4x)
log(5x+10)
= e
4x 5x10
4x-5x 10
-x 10
x =-10
