Assume the problem is:

using logs

The log equiv of exponents
(2x+1)log(7) = (x+2)log(3)
Find the logs of 7 and 3
.8451(2x+1) = .4771(x+2)
1.6902x + .8451 = .4771x + .9542
1.6901x - .4771x = .9542 - .8451
1.213x = .1091
x =
x ~ .09

You can check this on your calc, replace x with .09 in the 1st equation, confirm they are equal
