log[base5]x = 3 is the same as saying 5^3 = x
Therefore
x = 5^3 = 125

log equals the exponent..always know that
log = x (x is the exponent in exponential form)
the base is the actual base itself in exponential form
the value that comes after log[base]___ is the actual answer
ie., base to the exponent equals the value in the blank
so log[base5]x = 3
we know the base is 5, and the exponent is 3
so x = 5^3 = 125

Exponentiate by base 5, to get:
x = 5^3, or x = 125.
