You haven't shared the possible answers, so the best I can do (which is very good!) is to assume we want to change from base 4 to base 10 and then apply the change of base formula.

Given log-to-the-base-4-of (x+2), we want log-to-the-base-10 of (x+2). Following the change of base formula,
log-to-the-base-4-of (x+2)
log-to-the-base-10 of (x+2) = ------------------------------------
log-to-the-base-4-of-10

Answer:
log_4(x+2)=(log (x+2))/(log 4)

Explanation:

By the log base formula,


log_b x = (log_a x)/(log_a b)

Where a and b are any numbers,

Here the given expression,


log_4(x+2)

Thus, by the above formula,

We can write,


log_4(x+2)=(log_(10) (x+2))/(log_(10) 4 )


\implies log_4(x+2)=(log(x+2))/(log 4)
