log(2,x)+log(1/2,(x+1))>log(2,(x-2)).......change to base 10


log(x)/log(2)+log(x+1)/log(1/2)>log(x-2)/log(2).....since log(1/2)=log(1)-log(2)=0-log(2)=log(2) we have


log(x)/log(2)-log(x+1)/log(2)>log(x-2)/log(2).........since all denominators same


log(x)-log(x+1)>log(x-2)


log(x/(x+1))-log(x-2)>0


log((x/(x+1))/(x-2))>0


log(x/(x^2 - x - 2))>0


(x^2 - 2x - 2)/((x - 2) (x + 1))<0


Real solutions:


-1<x<1 - sqrt(3)

2<x<1 + sqrt(3)
