Solve the logarithmic equation: logx(1/32)=5
x^5=1/32
x^5=2^(-5)
raise both sides to the 1/5 power
x=2^-1=1/2

Solve the logarithmic equation: logx(1/32)=5
log+%28x%2C+%281%2F32%29%29+=+5 ------- Logarithmic form

x%5E5+=+1%2F32 ------------ Exponential form

root+%285%2C+x%5E5%29+=+root%285%2C+%281%2F32%29%29 ----- Taking the 5th root of both sides
