Condense the logarithm on the right side:




So,

and
, which makes (4) the correct choice.
Jamal because he has a higher percentage of shots made 78%>62%
The value of x is 1
Explanation:
The equation is 
Subtracting both sides by 3, we get,

Taking log on both sides, we get,

Rewriting the equation by 
Thus, we have,

Applying log rule, if
, then 
Thus, 
Substituting
in
, we get,

Also, since,
, then 
Thus, 
Hence, the value of x is 1
