Answer:

By graphing ;
\log_2 (x-1) = \log_(12) (x-1) only for x =2

Explanation:

Solve:
\log_2 (x-1) = \log_(12) (x-1)

let
y_1=\log_2 (x-1) and
y_2=\log_(12) (x-1)

To find the x for which
y_1= y_2

A graph of these
y_1=\log_2 (x-1) and
y_2=\log_(12) (x-1) shows us that the graph intersect.

This implies that there is a single (x, y) value that satisfies both equations.

i.,e (2, 0)

Therefore,
\log_2 (x-1) = \log_(12) (x-1) only when x =2

You can see the graph as shown below:
