* number 3 is the base
SO here is how I've been trying to solve it:
Its subtracting so I would divide and eliminate log 3: x/2=2 then I multiply two in both sides which equals to 4 but thats wrong. Pls help :/

Solution: First we must always remember that logarithms are exponents, therefore we have the following,
log3 (x) - log3 (2) = 2
log3 ( x / 2 ) = 2
3^2 = ( x / 2 )
9 (2) = x
x = 18

log (3) x – log (3) 2 = 2
log(3) (x/2) = 2
x/2 = 3^2
x = 18
log(3) (x/2) = 2
x/2 = 3^2
x = 18
