2^{5x}=3^x(5^{x+3})

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



ln2^{5x}=ln3^x(ln5^{x+3})

5xln2=xln3(x+3)ln5

Here's where I get stuck... I've tried a bunch of different manipulation, but can't seem to isolate x...

Thanks in advance!

It's late and I still suck at LaTeX, is it okay to do this, or is it against etiquette?

Thanks again for your help!
