Help solving log equation for x

Hi, I am trying to solve the following equation for x, 1+2log(x+1, 4)==2log(x,2)

I entered in the input "(1+2log(x+1, 4)==2log(x,2)).solve(x,algorithm='sympy', domain='all')"

and the Output was "{๐‘ฅโˆฃ๐‘ฅโˆˆโ„‚โˆงโˆ’๐‘ฅ2log(2)+๐‘’(๐‘ฅ+1)1log(2)=0}โˆ–{๐‘ฅโˆฃ๐‘ฅโˆˆโ„‚โˆง๐‘ฅ2log(2)=0}"

The answer I am looking for is "x = 1+3^(1/2)."

Help solving log equation for x

Hi, I am trying to solve the following equation for x, 1+2log(x+1, 4)==2log(x,2)x:

1 + 2 * log(x + 1, 4) == 2 * log(x, 2)

I entered in the input "(1+2log(x+1, 4)==2log(x,2)).solve(x,algorithm='sympy', domain='all')"

(1 + 2 * log(x + 1, 4) == 2 * log(x, 2)).solve(x, algorithm='sympy', domain='all')

and the Output output was "{๐‘ฅโˆฃ๐‘ฅโˆˆโ„‚โˆงโˆ’๐‘ฅ2log(2)+๐‘’(๐‘ฅ+1)1log(2)=0}โˆ–{๐‘ฅโˆฃ๐‘ฅโˆˆโ„‚โˆง๐‘ฅ2log(2)=0}"

The answer I am looking for is "x is

x = 1+3^(1/2)."

1+3^(1/2)
