Answer 1

Answer: 3

Explanation:

First, we will write this logarithm in numeric values.

log Subscript 5 Baseline 125 ➜
`\text{log}_5 125`

Next, we will solve. This logarithm asks what power 5 needs to be raised to so it's equivalent to 125.

5 to the power of 3 is 125, so our answer is 3.

`5^3=125`
`5^3=5^x`

`\text{log}_5 125` = 3
