The solution

You have entered [src]
log(2*x - 7)    
------------ = 3
   log(5)       
$$\frac{\log{\left(2 x - 7 \right)}}{\log{\left(5 \right)}} = 3$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\frac{\log{\left(2 x - 7 \right)}}{\log{\left(5 \right)}} = 3$$
$$\frac{\log{\left(2 x - 7 \right)}}{\log{\left(5 \right)}} = 3$$
Let's divide both parts of the equation by the multiplier of log =1/log(5)
$$\log{\left(2 x - 7 \right)} = 3 \log{\left(5 \right)}$$
This equation is of the form:
log(v)=p

By definition log
v=e^p

then
$$2 x - 7 = e^{\frac{3}{\frac{1}{\log{\left(5 \right)}}}}$$
simplify
$$2 x - 7 = 125$$
$$2 x = 132$$
$$x = 66$$
