Answer:

No, not really.

dividing 25 into 4 equal groups, equals 6.25.

So no, you can not divide 25 into 4 equal group.

If if was 25 into 5 equal groups, then yes.

Hope this helps!!!

$\log_4(x+10)-\log_4(x-2)=\log_4(x)\implies \log_4\left( \cfrac{x+10}{x-2} \right)=\log_4(x) \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{exponentializing both sides}}{4^{\log_4\left( \frac{x+10}{x-2} \right)}=4^{\log_4(x)}}\implies \cfrac{x+10}{x-2}=x\implies x+10=x^2-2x \\\\\\ 10=x^2-3x\implies 0=x^2-3x-10 \\\\\\ 0=(x-5)(x+2)\implies x= \begin{cases} 5~~\checkmark\\ -2 \end{cases}$

notice, -2 is a valid value for the quadratic, however, the argument value for a logarithm can never 0 or less, it has to be always greater than 0, so for the logarithmic expression with (x-2), using x = -2 will give us a negative value, so -2 is no dice.

The first rule is to add 10, then divide by 2 starting from 2. The second rule is to multiply by 3, then subtract 2 starting fro
