5%5E%282x%2B1%29=2%5Ex
log%28%285%5E%282x%2B1%29%29%29=log%28%282%5Ex%29%29
%282x%2B1%29%2Alog%28%285%29%29=x%2Alog%28%282%29%29
Substitute to make it easier to read,
%282x%2B1%29a=bx
2ax%2Ba=bx
%282a-b%29x=-a
x=%28-a%29%2F%282a-b%29
x=a%2F%28b-2a%29
highlight%28x=log%28%285%29%29%2F%28log%28%282%29%29-2%2Alog%28%285%29%29%29%29
