You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log(x+5). logx = 2
It is not possible to solve this algebraically. You will have to graph it.
Plot: y= log(x+5) x log(x) for values between 0 and 30.
Read off the x-coordinates where y=2.
From the vague graph I've drawn here, the answer seems to be between 22.5 and 24.5. Approx. 23.5.
