$\"5%5E%282x%2B1%29+=+125%5Ex\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x%2B1%29%2Alog%285%29+=+x%2Alog%28125%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x%2B1%29%2A0.69897+=+x%2A2.0969\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B1+=+3x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1+=+x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So does 5^3 = 125^1 ???\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another way to look at this is to know that 125 = 5^3
\n" ); document.write( "So, you could have done this.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%5E%282x%2B1%29+=+125%5Ex\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%5E%282x%2B1%29+=+5%5E3x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B1+=+3x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "same thing. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
