Use the properties of logs ...

Explanation:

3lnx+ln5=ln[(5)(x^3)]3lnx+ln5=ln[(5)(x3)]

Now, exponentiate both sides of the equation ...

e^ln[(5)(x^3)]=e^7eln[(5)(x3)]=e7

Simplify and solve for x...

5x^3=e^75x3=e7

x^3=(e^7)/5x3=e75

(x^3)^(1/3)=x=[(e^7)/5]^(1/3)~~6.031(x3)13=x=[e75]136.031

hope that helped
