  log_2 (((x^2 +7x−2)/(x^2 +3x−6)))=log_2^2  8=(1/2)log_2 8=log_2 (√8)⇒  x^2 +7x−2=(√8)x^2 +3(√8)x−6(√8)⇒  ((√8)−1)x^2 +(3(√8)−7)x−(6(√8)−2)=0  Δ=(3(√8)−7)^2 −4((√8)−1)(6(√8)−2)=  72−42(√8)+49−4(48−8(√8)+2)=  121−42(√8)−192+32(√8)−8=  −79−10(√8)<0  ⇒there is no real number for x

but if you replace x=7 the equality is not true

log_2  a =((ln a)/(ln 2))  log_4  8 =((ln 8)/(ln 4))=((3ln 2)/(2ln 2))=(3/2)  ln (x^2 +7x−2)=ln (x^2 +3x−6)+((3ln 2)/2)  ln ((x^2 +7x−2)/(x^2 +3x−6)) =((3ln 2)/2)  ((x^2 +7x−2)/(x^2 +3x−6))=2(√2)  transforming  x^2 +((17−8(√2))/7)x−((2(23+4(√2)))/7)=0  x=−((17−8(√2))/(14))±((√(1705−48(√2)))/(14))  both satisfy the given equation although  the “−” solution leads to complex values  for both logarithms
