SOLUTION: x=12^(log base 12 of 5)
I think that's the same as:
x=12^(5 log base 12), but I'm just trying to follow previous patterns and I'm lost

You are thinking of the rule that log base 12 of 5^n = n * (log base 12 of 5) which doesn't apply here.
The base 12 log of a number, say z, is the power that 12 needs to be raised to to produce the number z:
z = log base 12 of 5 if and only if 12^z = 5 by definition of a log.
In this case x = log base 12 of 5 is the number that 12 would need to be raised to to produce the number 5. So actually raising 12 to the (log base 12 of 5) produces a value of 5.

It turns out that . In this problem, it's useful to know .
In this case, a=12 and b=5. So which means that the answer is
