solve for x
3^(x-7)=14^(2x)
solve for x
(x-7)*log(3) = 2x*log(14)
x*log(3) - 7log(3) = 2x*log(14)
xlog(3) - 2x*log(14) = 7log(3)
x*(log(3) - 2log(14)) = 7log(3)
x+=+7log%283%29%2F%28log%283%29+-+2log%2814%29%29
x+=+log%282187%29%2Flog%283%2F196%29
--------------
also, x = ln(2187)/ln(3/196) or logs to any matching bases
