Solution

2(log21)+log(5x+1)=log(51x+5)
2log(2e)+log(5x+1)=log(51x+5)
takeantilogandlet5x=z
4e2.(z+1)=5z+5
z(4z+4)=(5+5z)e2
4z2+4z5ze25e2=0
4z2+z(45z2)5e2=0
z=(45e2)±(45e2)2+4×4×5e22×4
z=(45e2)±(4+5e2)8
z=(4e2)+(4+5e2)8andz=(45e2)(4+5e2)8
z=10e28,z=1
thus,5x=10e28
takelog
x=(log10+2log8)log5
=>x=(log510e28)2
