Apply the equality property of logarithms to solve an equation, log13 (x^2 -4)=log13 (3x)

The video tutorial explains how to solve logarithmic equations using the property of equality for logarithms. It transitions into solving quadratic equations by setting them to zero and using factoring methods. The zero product property is applied to find the solutions to the quadratic equation, demonstrating the process step-by-step.
