We must first put in a common base; this can be done by using the change of base rule loga(n)=lognloga

Explanation:

logxlog(14)+logx2log2=3

logxlog(22)+logx2log2=3

logx2log2+logx2log2=3

logx2log2+2logx22log2=3

log14(x)+log14(x4)=3

log14(x×x4)=3

x3=(14)3

1x3=164

x3=64

x=4

Hopefully this helps!
