2quick algebra questions in preparation of a test. i am not really sure how to do these 2 types of problems, can someone explain to me how to solve them? show me all steps. : )

1). 6^3x=104
2). log3(x+2)+log3(4x-1)=5

1) 6^(3x)=104

loga =logarithm to the base a

loga n=z         ⇔a^z=n

Therefore: 
log6 104=3x
x=(log6 104) / 3
x=(ln 104) / 3ln 6=0.8640279≈0.864      (loga z=ln a / ln z)

  x≈0.864

2) log3 (x+2)+ log3 (4x-1)=5
log3 x=5   ⇔   3⁵=x   ⇒x=243
log3 [(x+2)(4x-1)]=log3 243
log3 (4x²+7x-2)=log3 243

Therefore:
4x²+7x-2=243
4x²+7x-245=0

we solve this square equation:
x=[-7⁺₋√(49+3920)] / 8 =(-7⁺₋63) / 8
we have two solutions:

x₁=(-7-63) / 8=-8.75  this solution is not valid.
x₂=(-7+63) /8=7

x=7
