To solve this equation, we need to first simplify it by expressing everything in terms of the same base. We can rewrite the equation using the property that a log raised to a power can be rewritten as that power times the log.
So, the equation can be rewritten as: 2log₁₁x = (log₁₁x)^2 - 3
Using the fact that logₐb = c can be rewritten as a^c = b, we can rewrite the equation as: x^2 = x^2 - 3
Now, we can combine like terms and solve for x: x^2 - x^2 = -3 0 = -3
There is a contradiction in the final step, which means that there is no solution to the original equation.
