x > 0. The negative solution x = -12x=12 is inadmissible for the given equation. So there is no real solution.

Explanation:

x > 0.
Use log a - log b = log (a/b) logalogb=log(ab)

log ((3x)/(x+3))=log 4log(3xx+3)=log4

Som (3x)/(x+3)=43xx+3=4

x = -12x=12.

As x > 0 for log x, x = -12x=12 is inadmissible.
