solve for x by condensing the left side of the equation.

This is how u do this
3 log(base 5) of 2+log (base 5) of x= log (base 5) of 24
log(base 5)2^3+log (base 5) of x = log(base 5) of 24
log(base 5)8+log(base 5) of x = log (base 5) 24
then multiplioacation comes
log(base 5)(8x)=log(base 5 )24
since both sides have log(base 5)
8x = 24
x =3
Hope this helps u

3 log(base 5) of 2 + log (base 5) of x = log (base 5) of 24
log(base 5) of 8x = log (base 5) of 24
8x = 24
x = 3

left side = log (base5) of 2^3 + log(base 5) of x
= log (base 5) of 8x
x = 4
