Hope this helps.
I'm not sure if you wrote log2(2x-5) or log2(2x) - 5 though...
But I assume it's log2(2x-5)

I would like to ask something.why i need to change the base to base 2
Clement Cheng

This is to make the right hand side into a number, which is easier to work with.

You can also write log8(2) = log8(8^(1/3))
= (1/3)log8(8) = 1/3

No, you don't have to follow. But for this question, it just happens that the base for the right hand side also changes to 2.
