The phrase "Solve for x" means get x by itself on one side of the equation. Your equation is already soved for x.

What still needs to be done is simplifying the left side. In other words, how can be expressed in a simpler way. If you understand logarithms well, the answer comes pretty easily. What does stand for? represents the exponent for 5 which results in 625. In other words, what power of 5 is 625? If you don't know the answer, it doesn't take much trial and error to find out. The answer is 4. So x = 4.
