LOGARITHMS!?

Posted at: 2014-06-09 
Okay so I have a problem that I keep getting wrong it is: 2log(x+2) = log36 + log4 I get I need to use the properties of power and product but for some reason I keep getting stuck at log(x+2)^2 = log9 I don't even think I'm on the right track and the examples given in class and in the text book only explains the very simple "log(x-1) = log12" which obviously is x=13... I already know the answer is x = 10 since I only get 3 tries to complete the problem until it gives me the answer but I would like to know how to actually do this problem for future reference! Please help! Thanks!!
2log(x+2) = log(36) + log(4) 2log(x+2) = log(62) + log(22) 2log(x+2) = 2log(6) + 2log(2) log(x+2) = log(6) + log(2) log(x+2) = log(6
