#x=4#

Explanation:

In general #log(a/b) = log(a) - log(b)#

Therefore
#color(white)("XXX")log(3x+2)- log(2x-1) = log((3x+2)/(2x-2))#

So
#color(white)("XXX")log(3x+2)-log(2x+1) = log(2)#

#rArrcolor(white)("XXX")log((3x+2)/(2x-1))= log(2)#

#rArrcolor(white)("XXX")(3x+2)/(2x-1)=2#

#rArrcolor(white)("XXX")3x+2 = 4x-2#

#rArrcolor(white)("XXX")x=4#
