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.

The level from each growth factors is an illustration of combination
There are 90 ways of combining one level from each growth factors
<h3>How to determine the number of combination</h3>
From the complete question (see attachment), we have the number of levels in each growth factor is:
- Lighting = 3
- Age = 5
- Temperature = 2
- Humidity = 3
So, the number of combination (n) is:
n = 3 * 5 * 2 * 3
n = 90
Hence, there are 90 ways of combining one level from each growth factors
