If the equation is

then the solution, which I call "peel the onion", follows. If this equation is not correct, try again this time:

Start your equation with three left braces (shift [) and finish the equation with three right braces (shift ])
Use more parentheses to make sure everything is properly grouped
Although not required, we are going to use an additional variable, z, to help make what we are doing easier to understand.

First we'll make
Substituting z into the original equation we get:

Rewriting this in exponential form we get:

So z = 1/5. Now we will substitute back the original expression for z:

Multiplying both sides by 5 we get:

Now we will reuse z (or use another variable if this make you uncomfortable). Let z = the argument of the outer log function.

Substituting:

Rewriting in exponential form:

Substituting back for z:

Subtracting 2 from both sides we get

Dividing (or multiplying) both sides by -1 we get

Rewriting in exponential form we get

So our solution is: x = 2. I call this "peel the onion" because the x was buried inside a log which was buried inside anothe log which was buried inside a 3rd log. So I "peeled away" from the outside until x was by itself.
