Answer:

=1

Explanation:

log3(x+2)-log3(x)=1

Subtraction sign means you can divide the values inside the parintheses

log3(x+2/x)=1

split up the fraction into x/x and 2/x; x/x = 1

log3(1+(2/x))=1

Change of base - three to the first power = value in parintheses

3to1st=1+(2/x)

subtract 1 from both sides

2=2/x

divide both sides by 2

x=1
