Using a m x + n = a n ( a x ) m ,
we have
25 ( 5 x ) 2 25 ( 5 x ) + 6 = 0
which is a Quadratic Equation in 5 x
5 x = 25 ± 5 50 = 2 5 , 3 5
Taking logarithm,
x log 5 = log 2 log 5 , log 3 log 5

Let
5 x + 2 = y
25 × 5 x = y
5 x = y 25
5 2 x = y 2 625
5 2 x + 2 = y 2 25
The equation then, shall reduce to
y 2 25 y + 6 = 0
y 2 25 y + 150 = 0
This can be solved using quadratic equations.
