Question is to solve the equation for value of $x$.
$$9^{1+log x} - 3^{1+log x} - 210 = 0; quad text{where base of log is }3$$
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?

The final step should be $(3k+14)(k-5)=0$ (multiplication since you are factoring) This is what then allows you to reach your conclusion.

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.
