First of all the second equation shows up as an unintelligible expression. So I will not be able to help you with that. But perhaps the solution to the first equation will help you figure out how to do the same for whatever the second equation is.

I assume by "equivalent equation" you mean "equivalent exponential equation". If I'm wrong then you'll have to re-post your question making it clearer.

In general, the logarithmic equation:
log%28a%2C+%28p%29%29+=+n
is equivalent to the exponential equation:
p+=+a%5En

Using this pattern on:
log%283%2C+%285%29%29+=+y
we get:
5+=+3%5Ey
