Logarithm where 0 < a < 1 2 . Find x
Given that log a ( 3 x 4 a ) + log a ( 3 x ) = 2 log 2 a + log a ( 1 2 a ) where 0 < a < 1 2 . find the value of x
I got the attempt until x = 2 ( a + ( a 1 ) 2 3 and 2 ( ( a 1 ) 2 a ) 3 .
How to proceed to find x?

So, let's use log's with base a.
log a ( 3 x ( 3 x 4 a ) ) = 2 log a 2 + log a ( 1 2 a ) ,
and
3 x ( 3 x 4 a ) = 4 ( 1 2 a ) .
Solve it and
x = 2 3 , x = 4 a 2 3 .
But for second x, 3 x 4 a = 2, and log is undefined. So, you have x = 2 / 3.
