log5^(2x+1)=log8 

 

Assuming  that  both logs are to base 10, we can just solve this :

 

(2x + 1) * log 5  =   log 8        divide both sides by log 5

 

2x + 1   = log 8 / log 5        subtract 1 from both sides

 

2x  =   log 8 / log 5   - 1      divide both sides by 2

 

x  =   [ log 8 / log 5  -  1]  /   2  ≈    0.146
