Answer:
x=(25)/(3)

Explanation:

The given equation :
\log_2(3x+7)=5

Using logarithmic property :
\log_a N=M\to N=a^M

The given equation will be equivalent to
(3x+7)=2^5


\Rightarrow\ 3x+7=32

Subtract 7 from both sides , we get


3x=25

Divide both sides by 3 , we get


x=(25)/(3)

Hence, the solution is
x=(25)/(3)
