Using logarithmic laws: log(a) + log(b) = log(ab)
log₄ (x + 9) + log₄ (x + 21) = log₄ [(x + 9)(x + 21)] = 3
Since we want the equation in terms of x, the next intuitive step is take 4 to the power of both sides, because the left hand side will simplify easily.
Solving the quadratic we get:
BUT, for the logarithmic equation to be defined, x > -9, so x≠ -25
Thus, the only solution is x = -5.

Answer:
The confidence interval at this level of confidence is between 5.4455 and 12.3545.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .
So it is z with a pvalue of , so
Now, find M as such
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample, which is also called standard error. So
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 8.9 - 3.4545 = 5.4455
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 8.9 + 3.4545 = 12.3545
The confidence interval at this level of confidence is between 5.4455 and 12.3545.
