log<sub>3</sub> [ 2x(2x-3) ] = log<sub>3</sub>[ x(x+1)(x-1)/(x^2 - 1) ]
"anti-log" it , remember the old "whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other side"
2x(2x-3) = x(x+1)(x-1)/(x^2 - 1)
4x^2 - 6x = x
4x^2 - 7x = 0
x(4x - 7) = 0
x = 0 or x = 7/4
but log x would be undefined if x=0
so x=7/4
better check my arithmetic
