Learn how to solve problems step by step online. Solve the logarithmic equation 2log4(2+-1*x)-log4(x+5)=1. Apply the formula: a\log_{b}\left(x\right)=\log_{b}\left(x^a\right). The difference of two logarithms of equal base b is equal to the logarithm of the quotient: \log_b(x)-\log_b(y)=\log_b\left(\frac{x}{y}\right). Expand \left(2-x\right)^2. Take the variable outside of the logarithm.

Final answer to the problem

$x=\frac{8+\sqrt{128}}{2},\:x=\frac{8-\sqrt{128}}{2}$
