The sum of all the real solutions of the equation
$$\log_{(x+3)}{(6x^{2}+28x+30)}=5-2\log_{(6x+10)}{(x^{2}+6x+9)}$$ is equal to
Given: $$\log_{(x+3)}{(6x^{2}+28x+30)}=5-2\log_{(6x+10)}{(x^{2}+6x+9)}$$
$$6x^2 + 28x + 30 = (x +3)(6x + 10)$$
$$x^{2}+6x+9 = (x + 3)^2$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\log_{(x+3)}{(x+3)(6x+10)} = 5 - 2\log_{(6x+10)}{(x + 3)^2}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\log_{(x+3)}{(x+3)} + \log_{(x+3)}{(6x+10)} = 5 - 4\log_{(6x+10)}{(x + 3)}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$ 1 + \log_{(x+3)}{(6x+10)} = 5 - 4\log_{(6x+10)}{(x + 3)}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$ \log_{(x+3)}{(6x+10)} + 4\log_{(6x+10)}{(x + 3)} = 4$$
Let $$ \log_{(x+3)}{(6x+10)} = t$$ $$\Rightarrow$$ $$\log_{(6x+10)}{(x + 3)} = \dfrac{1}{t}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$ t + \dfrac{4}{t} = 4$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$t^2 - 4t + 4 = 0$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$(t - 2)^2 = 0$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$ t = 2$$
$$\therefore$$ $$\log_{(x+3)}{(6x+10)} = 2$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$(6x + 10) = (x + 3)^2$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$x^2 + 6x + 9 = 6x + 10$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$x^2 = 1$$ $$\Rightarrow$$ $$x = \pm 1$$
Both of these values of $$x$$ satisfy the given equation
$$\therefore$$ Sum of real solutions $$= (1) + (-1) = 0$$
Hence, option B is the correct choice
