Answer:

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
