The correct option is right-bracket squared 3 squared =x+5

Explanation:

The equation is
\log _(3)(x+5)=2

Option a:
\log _(3)(x+5)=3^(2)

This is not possible because using logarithmic rule, if
\log _(a) b=c then
b=a^(c)

Hence, option a is not equivalent to
\log _(3)(x+5)=2

Option b:
\log _(3)(x+5)=2^(3)

This is not possible because using logarithmic rule, if
\log _(a) b=c then
b=a^(c)

Hence, option b is not equivalent to
\log _(3)(x+5)=2

Option c:
x+5=3^(2)

This is possible because using logarithmic rule, if
\log _(a) b=c then
b=a^(c)

Hence, option c is equivalent to
\log _(3)(x+5)=2

Option b:
x+5=2^(3)

This is not possible because using logarithmic rule, if
\log _(a) b=c then
b=a^(c)

Hence, option b is not equivalent to
\log _(3)(x+5)=2

Thus, the correct option is c:
x+5=3^(2)

Hence, the equation
x+5=3^(2) is equivalent to
\log _(3)(x+5)=2
