"Solve the equation 2log2 x - log2(x+3) = 2

Any help would be appreciated!

Use laws of logarithms such as: Loga(b^c) = c* Loga(b) etc.

If you can't get started, here is a hint.

\(\displaystyle log_a(b) = log_a(c) \iff b = c.\)

The main problem here is that you do not have logs to the same base on both sides of the equation. How might you rectify that?
