Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

What you meant was:

And here is how you would render such a thing as an input to this site:

5^(log(5,(x)))

Now, for the solution to your problem. Remember that:

But notice that in your problem, you are raising 5 to a base-5 logarithm. What

means is "the number I would use as an exponent on 5 to equal x" Hence if you raise 5 to the power of the number you would use as an exponent on 5 to equal x, then you would just get x.
