Solve the following equations.

ln (x + 2) + ln (x - 2) = ln (-2x - 1)

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

ln (x + 2) + ln (x - 2) = ln (-2x - 1)

In (x + 2) (x - 2) = In (-2x - 1)

(x + 2) (x - 2) = (-2x - 1)

x² - 4 = - 2x - 1

x² + 2x - 4 + 1 = 0

x² + 2x - 3 = 0

(x + 3) (x - 1) = 0

x1 = - 3 x2 = 1
