We see that $x=2$ is one solution. Let $xne 2$.



Taking $log$ we get $$(10x^2-1)log|x-2|=3xlog|x-2|$$



So one solution is $log |x-2| = 0implies |x-2| =1 implies x-2=pm1 $, so $x=3$ or $x=1$.



Say $log |x-2| ne 0$ then $10x^2-1 = 3x$ so $x= 1over 2$ and $x=-1over 5$.

    So rearranging gives
    $$|x-2|^10x^2-1-|x-2|^3x=0$$
    $$|x-2|^3x(|x-2|^10x^2-3x-1-1)=0$$
    So either $x=2$ to achieve zero in the first factor, $|x-2|=1implies x=1,3$ in order for the second factor to be $1-1=0$. We can also have $10x^2-3x-1=0implies x=-frac15 , frac12$ where the power in the second factor is $0$ and hence also causes $1-1=0$.

        • $begingroup$
          The point about $x=3$ and $x=1$ is that these make $|x-2|=1$, and then $|x-2|^p = 1$ for any $p$. If $x ne 1, 2, 3$, then we must have $10 x^2-1 = 3x$, because $a^t$ is a one-to-one function of $t$ if $0 < a < 1$ or $a > 1$.

                                  The point about $x=3$ and $x=1$ is that these make $|x-2|=1$, and then $|x-2|^p = 1$ for any $p$. If $x ne 1, 2, 3$, then we must have $10 x^2-1 = 3x$, because $a^t$ is a one-to-one function of $t$ if $0 < a < 1$ or $a > 1$.

                                We get easy that $x=2$ is one solution. Now let $xneq 2$, then it must be $10x^2-1=3x$. Can you finish? Hint: $x=3$ and $x=1$ are also solutions.
