2x+6 is the base
Then the equation is logarithm of 144 on basis 2x + 6 = 2
Then [2x + 6]^2 = 144
Now expand the square binomial
4x^2 + 24x + 36 = 144
4x^2 + 24x + 36 - 144 = 0
4x^2 + 24x - 108 = 0
Divide by 4
x^2 + 6x - 27 = 0
Factor: (x + 9 ) (x - 3) = 0
x = -9 and x = 3
The only valid is x = 3, because x = -9 yields 2x + 6 = - 12 and the logarithm function cannot have negative basis.
Then the answer is x = 3.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width. Then the length is 2w-5, and the perimeter is ...
P = 2(L+W)
44 = 2((2w-5) +w)
44 = 6w -10
54 = 6w
9 = w
2(9) -5 = 13 = length
The length of the rectangle is 13 meters; the width is 9 meters.
