Detailed Solution

log(x+1)2x2+7x+5+log(2x+5)(x+1)24=0=log(x+1){(2x+5)(x+1)}+2log(2x+5)(x+1)4=0=log(x+1)(2x+5)+log(x+1)(x+1)+2log(2x+5)(x+1)4=0=log(x+1)(2x+5)+2log(2x+5)(x+1)3=0 logaa=1=log(x+1)(2x+5)+2log(x+1)(x+1)log(x+1)(2x+5)=3

Let   log(x+1)(2x+5)=t

t+2t=3t23t+2=0(t1))t2)=0

 t=1, t=2

log(x+1)(2x+5)=1 and log(x+1)(2x+5)=22x+5=(x+1) and 2x+5=(x+1)2x=4 and 2x+5=x2+1+2x i.e., x2=4x=+2,2

Given, x > 0

x=4, x=2 are discarded.

 x=2 is only solution.
