\(\log_2(5x - 2) - \log_2 x - \log_2(x - 1) = 2\)
\(\log_2 ( \frac{5x - 2}{x(x-1)} ) = 2\)
\(\log_2 ( \frac{5x - 2}{x(x-1)} ) = \log_2 4\)
\(\frac{5x - 2}{x(x-1)} = 4\)
\(5x - 2 = 4x(x - 1)\)
\(5x - 2 = 4x^2 - 4x\)
\(0 = 4x^2 - 9x + 2\)
\(0 = (4x - 1)(x - 2)\)
\(\implies x = 2 \text{ or } x = \frac{1}{4}\)

By putting one quarter into the equation we can see that it cannot work in any way involving real numbers as \(\log_2 ( \frac{1}{4} - 1)\) would be log of a negative number, so x = 2.
