+log%282%2Cx%5E2%29+%2B+log%282%2Cx%5E.5%29+=+5+
+log%282%2C+x%5E2%2Ax%5E.5%29+=+5+
+2%5E5+=+x%5E2%2Ax%5E.5+
+2%5E5+=+x%5E2.5+
----------------
+x+=+2%5E%285%2F2.5%29+
+x+=+2%5E2+
+x+=+4+
check answer:
+log%282%2Cx%5E2%29+%2B+log%282%2Cx%5E.5%29+=+5+
+log%282%2C4%5E2%29+%2B+log%282%2C4%5E.5%29+=+5+
+log%282%2C+16%29+%2B+log%282%2C+2%29+=+5+
++4+%2B+1+=+5+
OK
