Question

Which equation is equivalent to log (x+5) = 2?

32 = [logg(x+5)]

Explanation:

I am sure you missed out the base while typing the question.

If the complete question is

`log_(3)(x + 5) = 2`

Then taking antilogarithm or rewriting in exponential form gives:

`x + 5 = {3}^(2)`

Or

`{3}^(2) = x + 5`

But if the complete question is:

`log_(2)(x + 5) = 2`

Then the equivalent form is

`{2}^(2) = x + 5`
