Question is to solve the equation for value of $x$.
$$9^1+log x - 3^1+log x - 210 = 0; quad textwhere base of log is 3$$
The answer given is $x=5$
I've tried to solve it. And got two values of $x= -14/3$ and $x=5$. What I've done wrong?

You have solved correctly just made one error towards the end.
Note that the domain of $log(x)$ is $x > 0$ so $x=-14/3$ is rejected as it is not in the domain of the function.
