x= 5^y.

Explanation:

Raise both sides to the power of 5.
m^(log base m is like 'sin arc sin' operator that is the operation, in succession, with 'an operator and its inverse'.
Logarithmic function is the inverse of power function of the base. For example, lne^n = n.and e^lnm.= m.

The answer is log_x5

Explanation:

Here y=log_5x
:. inverse of y = 1/y=1/(log_5x)=(cancel(log_5x)*log_x5)/cancel(log_5x)=log_x5

Is it correct?
