For logarithmic equations,
log
b
(
x
)
=
y
logb(x)=y
is equivalent to b
y
=
x
by=x
such that x
>
0
x>0
, b
>
0
b>0
, and b
≠
1
b≠1
.In this case, b
=
5
b=5
, x
=
25
x=25
, and y
2
y=2
.
b
=
5
b=5
x
=
25
x=25
y
=
2
y=2
Substitute the values of b
b
, x
x
, and y
y
into the equation
b
y
=
x
by=x
.
5 squared
=
25
5squared=25
