SOLUTION: I am trying to figure out how to simplify and hence solve the following equation. {{{log(x, 5) + log(5, x) = 2}}} I know {{{log(b, x)=1/log(x, b)}}} but I am stuck as I don't k

Question 11901: I am trying to figure out how to simplify and hence solve the following equation.

I know but I am stuck as I don't know how to deal with other than to make it but then what do you do with that? Perhaps I am going about it the wrong way. Any help would be appreciated, thankyou.

Let ,then we have y + 1/y = 2,
so
Hence, y = 1 and then x = ???
It is very staightford, I think you can understand.
