The team moved the ball -3 yards per play.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total yards lost = 12 yards

Total plays = 4 plays

As the yards are lost, therefore, we will use negative sign.

Yards per play = $\frac{Number\ of\ yards}{Number\ of\ plays}$

Yards per play = $\frac{-12}{4}$

Yards per play = -3

The team moved the ball -3 yards per play.

First of all, we need all logarithms to have the same base. So, we use the formula

$\log_a(b)=\dfrac{\log_c(b)}{\log_c(a)}$

To change the second term as follows:

$\log_4(x^2)=\dfrac{\log_2(x^2)}{\log_2(4)}=\dfrac{\log_2(x^2)}{2}$

Finally, using the property

$\log(a^b)=b\log(a)$

we have

$\dfrac{\log_2(x^2)}{2}=\log_2(x)$

So, the equation becomes

$\log_2(3x+4)-7\log_2(x)+\log_2(x)=2 \iff \log_2(3x+4)-6\log_2(x)=2$

We can now use the formula

$\log(a)-\log(b)=\log\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)$

to write the equation as

$\log_2(3x+4)-6\log_2(x)=2 \iff \log_2(3x+4)-\log_2(x^6)=2 \iff \log_2\left(\dfrac{3x+4}{x^6}\right)=2$

Now consider both sides as exponents of 2:

$\dfrac{3x+4}{x^6}=4 \iff 4x^6-3x-4=0$

This equation has no "nice" solution, so I guess the problem is as simplifies as it can be
