Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.

4^{5x} = 3^{x-2}

\implies \log 4^{5x} = \log 3^{x-2}

Drop the exponents:

\implies 5x \log 4 = (x-2) \log 3

Expand the right side:

\implies 5x \log 4 = x \log 3 - 2 \log 3

Move the terms containing <em>x</em> to the left side and factor out <em>x</em> :

\implies 5x \log 4 - x \log 3 = - 2 \log 3

\implies x (5 \log 4 - \log 3) = - 2 \log 3

Solve for <em>x</em> by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :

\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ 2 \log 3 }{ 5 \log 4 - \log 3 }}

You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:

\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 3^2 }{ \log 4^5 - \log 3 }

\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log 1024 - \log 3 }

\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log \frac{1024}3 }}

You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,

\implies \boxed{x = -\log_{\frac{1024}3}9}
