We start by simplifying the outer logarithm:
If log25(y)=21, then y=2521=5.
5log3(1+log3(1+2log2x))=5
Dividing both sides by 5:
log3(1+log3(1+2log2x))=1
Since log3(3)=1, we have:
1+log3(1+2log2x)=3
∴log3(1+2log2x)=2
Since log3(9)=2, we have:
1+2log2x=9
Therefore: 2log2x=8
So: log2x=4
log2x=4 means x=24=16
Therefore, x=16 is our answer.
Verification: Substituting x=16 back into the original equation confirms our answer.
Hence, option two: x=16, is the correct answer
