------------
The log is the exponent. It's the number to which 10 is raised to get 5.
10%5Elog%285%29+=+5
----------
10%5Elog%28x%29+=+x
=======================
another approach:
n+=+10%5Elog%285%29 solve for n
Take the log of both sides
log%28n%29+=+%28log%285%29%29%2Alog%2810%29
log(10) = 1
--> log(n) = log(5)
--> n = 5
