The first, in exponential form is

9^(1/2)  = x - 2    and 9^(1/2)  = 3

So

3 = x -2   add two to both sides

5 = x

 

So

log625 (5)   says that

625x = 51

And 625  = 54

So

54x = 51   and equating exponents we have

4x = 1    divide both sides by 4

x = 1/4

So

Log625 (5) = 1/4

X-2=9^(1/2)

X-2=3

X=5
