I assume you might mean this:
log7(6x)=(log79) + (log7(x-4) By a log property, the right side can be combined into one term
log7(6x) = log7(9(x-4)) Simplifying on the right, we have
log7(6x) = log7(9x-36) Since the bases are the same, we can ignore the "logs" and solve the equation:
6x = 9x-36 Rearrange as
36 = 9x - 6x Simpify
36 = 3x Divide by 3 on both sides
x = 12
