There are 2 solutions: -4 & 6.
x^2 - 19 = 2x + 5 x^2 - 2x - 24 = 0 (x - 6)(x + 4) = 0 Then, x = -4, 6

You have to double check that when you maniuplate an expression, that the final solution set satisfies the original equation.
x = -4 is also an answer in complex number realm.
could u please help, how do you type the the solution, i tried with MS word ,but it looks horrible

@Manish Kumar Singh – Yeah!!I'll be surely waiting for you:P
Please make the options better. 6 is the only number which lies in the domain of the given function
how can you did it?
why neglect -4? @Calvin Lin

That's complex logarithm.
In principal logarithm, lo g a x , x > 0 , a > 0 , a = 1
lo g 2 x + 5 ( x 2 − 1 9 ) = 1
Let 2 x + 5 = b , x 2 − 1 9 = x , 1 = y
When lo g b x = y , b y = x
∴ ( 2 x + 5 ) 1 = x 2 − 1 9
∴ 2 x + 2 4 = x 2
∴ − x 2 + 2 x + 2 4 = 0
∴ − x 2 − 4 x + 6 x + 2 4 = 0
∴ − x ( x + 4 ) + 6 ( x + 4 ) = 0
∴ ( − x + 6 ) ( x + 4 ) = 0
Hence, x=6 or x=-4
Substituting x=6 into the logarithm,
lo g 2 ( 6 ) + 5 ( 6 2 − 1 9 ) = lo g 1 7 ( 1 7 ) = 1
Hence , x=6 (Proven)
Log -3/ Log -3 = 1 for x = -4 is also an answer in complex number realm as (-3)^1 = (-3).

we have lo g 2 x + 5 ( x 2 − 1 9 ) = 1 .Now we know that if lo g x y = z ,then x z = y .we use this in our problem to get: 2 x + 5 = x 2 − 1 9 ⟹ x 2 − 2 x − 2 4 = 0 ⟹ x 2 − 6 x + 4 x − 2 4 = 0 ⟹ ( x − 6 ) ( x + 4 ) = 0 ⟹ x = 6 , − 4 . but lo g 2 x + 5 ( x 2 − 1 9 ) is undefined for negative value of x . ∴ x = 6
