log 1 4 log 1 3 log 1 2 1 9 x 2 244 x + 29 3 = 0 log 1 3 log 1 2 1 9 x 2 244 x + 29 3 = 1 log 1 2 1 9 x 2 244 x + 29 3 = 1 3 1 9 x 2 244 x + 29 3 = ( 1 2 ) 1 3 = 1 2 3 9 x 2 244 x + 29 = 2 9 x 2 244 x + 27 = 0 ( 9 x 1 ) ( x 27 ) = 0 x = 1 9 , 27 \begin{aligned} \log_\frac 14 \log_\frac 13 \log_\frac 12 \sqrt[3]{\frac 1{9x^2-244x+29}} & = 0 \\ \implies \log_\frac 13 \log_\frac 12 \sqrt[3]{\frac 1{9x^2-244x+29}} & = 1 \\ \log_\frac 12 \sqrt[3]{\frac 1{9x^2-244x+29}} & = \frac 13 \\ \sqrt[3]{\frac 1{9x^2-244x+29}} & = \left(\frac 12 \right)^\frac 13 = \sqrt[3]{\frac 12} \\ \implies 9x^2-244x+29 & = 2 \\ 9x^2-244x+27 & = 0 \\ (9x-1)(x-27) & = 0 \\ \implies x & = \frac 19, 27 \end{aligned}

Therefore the sum of roots are 27 1 9 27.11 27\frac 19 \approx \boxed{27.11} .

Very nice solution sir(+1).

Latex solutions look better than handwritten and are easy to understand.
