We cal solve the equation using logarithms properties:


\log_6x+\log_63=\log_6(x+1)

Use the next logarithm rule:


\log_bM+\log_bN=\log_bMN

Then,


\log_6x+\log_63=\log_63x

Hence, we have the next equation:


\log_63x=\log_6(x+1)

Now, use the equality property:


\begin{gathered} if\text{ }\log_bm=\log_bn \\ Then \\ m=n \end{gathered}

Hence,


\begin{gathered} 3x=x+1 \\ \end{gathered}

Solve for:


\begin{gathered} 3x-x=1 \\ 2x=1 \\ x=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Hence, the correct answer is 1/2.

The answer is option x= 1/2.
