The problem you provided is asking for the first term of a geometric sequence. Let's break it down:

### Given:
1. \( \log a + 2 \log b - \log 5c = \frac{3}{4} \)
2. \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are the 2nd, 4th, and 7th terms of a geometric sequence, respectively.
3. The 3rd term of the geometric sequence is 100.
   
### To find:
The first term of the geometric sequence.

### Solution:

Let's assume the terms of the geometric sequence are represented as follows:
- \( a_1 \) is the first term.
- \( r \) is the common ratio.

So the general term of a geometric sequence is given by:
\[
a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}
\]
Using this, we can express the terms \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) as:
- \( a = a_2 = a_1 \cdot r^1 = a_1 \cdot r \)
- \( b = a_4 = a_1 \cdot r^3 \)
- \( c = a_7 = a_1 \cdot r^6 \)

Additionally, we know that the 3rd term is 100, so:
\[
a_3 = a_1 \cdot r^2 = 100
\]
Thus, we have:
\[
a_1 \cdot r^2 = 100 \quad \text{(Equation 1)}
\]

Now, use the logarithmic equation given in the problem:
\[
\log a + 2 \log b - \log 5c = \frac{3}{4}
\]
Substituting the expressions for \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \):
\[
\log (a_1 \cdot r) + 2 \log (a_1 \cdot r^3) - \log [5 \cdot (a_1 \cdot r^6)] = \frac{3}{4}
\]
This simplifies using logarithmic properties:
\[
\log a_1 + \log r + 2(\log a_1 + 3 \log r) - \log 5 - (\log a_1 + 6 \log r) = \frac{3}{4}
\]
Simplifying further:
\[
\log a_1 + \log r + 2 \log a_1 + 6 \log r - \log 5 - \log a_1 - 6 \log r = \frac{3}{4}
\]
\[
2 \log a_1 + \log r - \log 5 = \frac{3}{4}
\]
Now solve for \( a_1 \) and \( r \).
