Solve $LaTeX: \displaystyle \log_{6}(x - 3)+\log_{6}(x + 2) = 2$ .

Using logarithmic properties and expanding the argument gives $LaTeX: \displaystyle \log_{6}(x^{2} - x - 6)=2$ . Making both sides an exponent on the base gives $LaTeX: \displaystyle x^{2} - x - 6=6^{2}$ . Expanding and setting equal to zero gives $LaTeX: \displaystyle x^{2} - x - 42=0$ . Factoring gives $LaTeX: \displaystyle \left(x - 7\right) \left(x + 6\right)=0$ . Solving gives the two possible solutions $LaTeX: \displaystyle x = -6$ and $LaTeX: \displaystyle x = 7$ . The domain of the original is $LaTeX: \displaystyle \left(3, \infty\right) \bigcap \left(-2, \infty\right)=\left(3, \infty\right)$ . Checking if each possible solution is in the domain gives: $LaTeX: \displaystyle x = -6$ is not a solution. $LaTeX: \displaystyle x=7$ is a solution.
