First, we'll impose the constraints of existence of
logarithms:
x>0
Now,
we'll change the bases of logarithms to base 2:
log2 x =
log4 x*log2 4
log4 x = log2 x/log2
(2^2)
log4 x = log2 x/2log2
2
But log2 2 = 1
log4 x = log2
x/2
log2 x = log8 x*log2
8
log8 x = log2 x/3log2 2
log8
x = log2 x/3
We'll re-write the
equation
log2 x + (log2 x)/2 + (log2 x)/3 =
11/6
We'll multiply by 6 both
sides:
6 log2 x + 3 log2 x + 2 log2 x =
11
We'll add like
terms:
11 log2 x = 11
We'll
divide by 11:
log2 x = 1
x =
2^1
x = 2
Since 2 belongs to
the interval of admissible values, we'll validate it as solution of the
equation:
x =
2
