Why can't I use Logarithms to solve this 3^((x+1)/(x-2)) + 3^((2x-1)/(x-2)) = 36?

Question

I have tried and do not get the correct answer. I know the algebraic way to solve it. I just want to know what I am missing or have forgotten wrt to using logs to solve.

Hello Lea, I posted a video showing where you could use potentially use log properties to solve the equation.

Thank you.
