3² = x + 5. The equivalent equation to log₃(x+5) = 2 is 3² = x + 5.
In order to solve this problem we have to know about Logarithm.
Logarithm is defined as the exponent of a power with a certain base, that is, the number to which a given base must be raised to obtain a given result.
logₐ b = x ----------> aˣ = b
Solving for log₃(x+5) = 2 where a = 3, x = 2, and b = x + 5
3² = x + 5
