+log%285%2Cx%5E2%29+=+log%285%2C%285x%2B14%29%29+
+x%5E2+=+5x+%2B+14+
+x%5E2+-+5x+-+14+=+0+
+%28+x+-+7+%29%2A%28+x+%2B+2+%29+=+0+
+x+=+7+
+x+=+-2+
check answer:
+log%285%2Cx%5E2%29+=+log%285%2C%285x%2B14%29%29+
+log%285%2C7%5E2%29+=+log%285%2C%285%2A7%2B14%29%29+
+log%28+5%2C49+%29+=+log%28+5%2C%2835+%2B+14+%29+%29+
+log%28+5%2C49+%29+=+log%285%2C49%29+
OK
