The solution

log(2*cos(x)) = 1/5
$$\log{\left(2 \cos{\left(x \right)} \right)} = \frac{1}{5}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\log{\left(2 \cos{\left(x \right)} \right)} = \frac{1}{5}$$
transform
$$\log{\left(2 \cos{\left(x \right)} \right)} - \frac{1}{5} = 0$$
$$\log{\left(2 \cos{\left(x \right)} \right)} - \frac{1}{5} = 0$$
Do replacement
$$w = \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
Given the equation
$$\log{\left(2 w \right)} - \frac{1}{5} = 0$$
$$\log{\left(2 w \right)} = \frac{1}{5}$$
This equation is of the form:
log(v)=p

By definition log
v=e^p

then
$$2 w = e^{\frac{1}{5}}$$
simplify
$$2 w = e^{\frac{1}{5}}$$
$$w = \frac{e^{\frac{1}{5}}}{2}$$
do backward replacement
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = w$$
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = w$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w \right)} - \pi$$
Or
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w \right)} - \pi$$
, where n - is a integer
