x=4; By the quotient rule: log6(x+2)−log6(x−3)=log6(x−3x+2)=1.
Rewriting as an exponential equation and solving for x:
616(x−3)6x−185xx=x−3x+2(after multiplying both sides by (x−3))=x+2(carry out distributive multiplication on left)=x+2(add18to both sides, subtractxfrom both sides)=20=4
Checking, we find that log6(4+2)−log6(4−3)=log6(6)−log6(1) is defined, so x=4.
