The solution

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

By definition log
v=e^p

then
$$2 x - 1 = e^{\frac{2}{\frac{1}{\log{\left(2 \right)}}}}$$
simplify
$$2 x - 1 = 4$$
$$2 x = 5$$
$$x = \frac{5}{2}$$
