Answer:
x = 1.00995066776
x = 2.52925492433
Step-by-step explanation:
This sort of equation is best solved using a graphing calculator. For that purpose, I like to rewrite the equation as a function whose zeros we're seeking. Here, that becomes ...
[tex]f(x)=\log{(x)}-\log{(x-1)}^2-2\log{(x-1)}[/tex]
The attached graph shows zeros at
x = 1.00995066776 and 2.52925492433

Comment on the equation
Note that we have taken the middle term to be the square of the log, rather than the log of a square. For the latter interpretation, see mberisso's answer at https://brainly.com/question/17210068
Comment on the answer refinement
We have used Newton's method iteration to refine the solutions to this equation. The solution near 1.00995 requires the initial guess be very close for that method to work properly. Fortunately, the 1.01 value shown on the graph is sufficient for the purpose.
