not entirely sure what to do... anyone thing they could help?

Haha i just did this one 5 minutes ago

Right, you already know log_{4}(5-x)-log_{4}(3-x)=2
So you re-arrange to log_{4}(5-x)-log_{4}(3-x)=log_{4}4^2 Remember : log_{4}4=1
Then you can cancel out the logs:
(5-x)/(3-x)=4^2
16(3-x)=(5-x)
48-16x=5-x
5-15x=48
-15x=43
x=-43/15
Hope this helped! Any questions just reply back.
Yeah!
