The goal is to make them equal both sides. So there's 7 lines in total, you can move only one line from either side to the other
side, to make this statement equal. The line can be move at any angle and direction. How do you do it?

Answer:
x = - 5, x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rules of logarithms
log x - log y = log ( )
x = n ⇔ x =
note that log x = x
Given
log (x² + 3x) - log10 = 0, then
log( ) = 0, thus
=
= 1 ( multiply both sides by 10 )
x² + 3x = 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
x² + 3x - 10 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
Solution is x = - 5, x = 2
