Same as my answer last time:
Answer:
NO solution
Explanation:
log(16x+2) - log(4x+2) = log((16x+2)/(4x+2)).
remove log
(16x+2)/(4x+2) = 2x + 4
multiply both sides by 2x + 1
8x + 1 = (2x + 4)(2x + 1)
distribute
8x + 1 = 4x^2 + 10x + 4
move to one side
4x^2 + 2x + 3 = 0
factor
but you can't
so you try to use quadratic formula, but you find that the discriminate is less than zero.
So there is no solution when x is a real number.
