If you want to solve the equation look at http://web2.0calc.com/questions/5-x-1-5-2-x-2-104 

 

Evaluating the left-hand side of the equation at x = 5 does not result in 104.

$${{\mathtt{5}}}^{\left({\mathtt{5}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{1}}\right)}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{5}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{2}}}^{\left({\mathtt{5}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{2}}\right)} = {\mathtt{15\,665}}$$

This would be a difficult one to solve, algebraically.....here's a graph of the solution......

Desmos gives the solution as x = 1.858  [approximately]

 

[Thanks, Alan, for spotting my earlier mistake in typing in the incorrect function.......!!!! ]
