x > 0. The negative solution $x = -12$ is inadmissible for the given equation. So there is no real solution.

x > 0.
Use $log a - log b = log (a/b)$

$log ((3x)/(x+3))=log 4$

Som $(3x)/(x+3)=4$

$x = -12$ .

As x > 0 for log x, $x = -12$ is inadmissible.

How do you solve Log3x=log4+log(x+3)Log3x=log4+log(x+3)?
