The solution

You have entered [src]
  log(2*x - 5)    
2*------------ = 2
    log(16)       
$$2 \frac{\log{\left(2 x - 5 \right)}}{\log{\left(16 \right)}} = 2$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$2 \frac{\log{\left(2 x - 5 \right)}}{\log{\left(16 \right)}} = 2$$
$$\frac{2 \log{\left(2 x - 5 \right)}}{\log{\left(16 \right)}} = 2$$
Let's divide both parts of the equation by the multiplier of log =2/log(16)
$$\log{\left(2 x - 5 \right)} = \log{\left(16 \right)}$$
This equation is of the form:
log(v)=p

By definition log
v=e^p

then
$$2 x - 5 = e^{\frac{2}{2 \frac{1}{\log{\left(16 \right)}}}}$$
simplify
$$2 x - 5 = 16$$
$$2 x = 21$$
$$x = \frac{21}{2}$$
