3^(x+2) = 5^2x
taking log of both sides
(x+2)log3 =(2x)log5
or 2log3=2xlog5 -xlog3
or 2log3=x(2log5 -log3)
or log3^2 =x(log5^2 -log3)
or log9 =xlog(25/3)
or 0.9542 =0.9218 x
so x =0.9542/0.9218
giving x= 1.04
next time please use brackets like this:
3^(x + 2) = 5^2x
not like this
3^x + 2 = 5^2x
people may assume that 2 is not part of the power
