To solve an equation with this expression in it we would need the equation. If it was something like:
we could start by subtracting 25 from both sides giving:

Then factor:

In order for this (or any product) to be zero, one of the factors must be zero. So
or
Solving these we subtract 5 from both sides of the first equation and add 5 to both sides of the second equation:
or
And then rewrite them in exponential form:
or
Our solutions to this made-up problem are: or
