I'm guessing it is 5^x * 125^(6x-5) = some number. So if you want to simplify it, apply the natural log to both sides, and on the left you will get (19-x)*ln(5), by the ln rules for addition and multiplication.

You have to give it the natural log......... :biggrin:

If I was given the problem he first stated I could only say f(x) is equal to some positive number. If you gave me what the equation was equal to, I could tell you what x was , by yes, using a log function on both sides and solving for x. It threw me where he dosen't equal the equation to something. Out of habit I tried to equal it to 0 and realized I was going down the wrong path.
