The main reason behind this is using properties of logarithm .

when solving

log_2(x+2)+log_2(x-3)=3

There you use multiplication property and make addition to multiplication then you get extraneous solution because in plenty of cases they occur

(-2)²=(2)²

But

-2≠2

Same happens in case of logarithm
