No, it isn't!
Given:
5%5E%2810x%29+=+125 Take the logarithm of both sides.
log%28%285%29%29%5E%2810x%29+=+log%28%28125%29%29 Apply the power rule for logs to the left side.
10x%2Alog%28%285%29%29+=+log%28%28125%29%29 Divide both sides by log(5)
10x+=+log%28%28125%29%29%2Flog%28%285%29%29 Evaluate the right side with your calculator.
10x+=+3 Divide both sides by 10.
highlight%28x+=+0.3%29
