Solve:
Log8 square root x + log8 square root (5x+2) = 2/3
-----------------------------------------
1/2log8(x) + 1/2log8(5x+2) = 2/3
----------------------------------------
1/2log8(x*(5x+2))= 2/3
----
log8[5x^2+2x] = 4/3
----
5x^2+2x = 8^(4/3)
---
5x^2+2x = 16
----
5x^2+2x-16 = 0
5x^2 + 10x - 8x - 16 = 0
5x(x+2) -8(x+2) = 0
(x+2)(5x-8) = 0
---
Positive solution:
x = 8/5
