\\\log _{4}(x-1)=\log _{2}(x-3) \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \log _{2}(x-1)=\log _{2}(x-3) \\ \Rightarrow \log _{2}(x-1)^{1 / 2}=\log _{2}(x-3)

\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{x-1}=(x-3)\\ \Rightarrow x-1=x^{2}+9-6 x \\ \Rightarrow x^{2}-7 x+10=0 \\ \Rightarrow(x-2)(x-5)=0 \\ \Rightarrow x=2,5

but x cant be 2, because in

\log_2(x-3)\rightarrow x>3

So, there is only one solution
