\frac{\ln x}{\ln (4 x)} + \frac{\ln x}{\ln (\frac{x}{2})} = 2

\frac{\ln x}{2 \ln 2 + \ln x} + \frac{\ln x}{\ln x - \ln 2} = 2

l e t t = \ln x, a = \ln 2

\frac{t}{2 a + t} + \frac{t}{t - a} = 2

t = 4 a

\ln x = 4 \ln 2

\Rightarrow x = 2^{4} = 16

(Q) S o l v e f o r x : \log_{4 x} (x) + \log_{\frac{x}{2}} (x) = 2

(S) \Rightarrow \frac{\log_{2} (x)}{2 + \log_{2} (x)} + \frac{\log_{2} (x)}{\log_{2} (x) - 1} = 2

[z = \log_{2} (x); x > 0; x \neq 1]

\Rightarrow \frac{z}{z + 2} + \frac{z}{z - 1} = 2

\Rightarrow z (z - 1 + z + 2) = 2 (z + 2) (z - 1)

\Rightarrow 2 z^{2} + z = 2 z^{2} + 2 z - 4

\Rightarrow z = 4 = \log_{2} (x)

\Rightarrow x = 2^{4} = 16
