how to solve precalc problem?

Here's the problem: 3^(x+2)=5^x

how do you solve this??

i got

ln3^(x+2)=ln5^x

(x+2)ln3=xln5

2ln3+xln3=xln5

-xln3 -xln3

ln9=xln5-xln3

ln9=x(ln5-ln3)

ln9=x(ln5+ln(1/3))

ln9=x(ln(5 1/3))

x=ln9/ln(5 1/3)

but I feel like this is wrong..

    3^(x+2)=5^x

    3^x * 3^2 = 5^x

    5^x/3^x = 3^2

    (5/3)^x = 3^2

    x ln(5/3) = ln(3^2)

    x = 2ln(3)/[ln(5) - ln(3)]

  • 3^(x+2)=5^x

    (x+2)ln3=xln5

    xln3+2ln3=xln5

    x(ln3-ln5)=-2ln3

    x=(-2ln3)/(ln5-ln3)

    x=-ln9/ln(5/3)

    (x+2)ln3 = xln5

    xln3 - xln5 = -2ln3

    x(ln3-ln5) = -2ln3

    x = -2ln3/(ln(3/5))

    3^(x+2) = 5^x

    3^(x+2) = 3^0.682606194x

    x + 2 = 0.682606194x

    0.317393806x = -2

    x = -6.301320206

    a million. F(x) = 7x^2 - 5x + x^(a million/2) + 3x^(-5) F'(x) = 14x - 5 + (a million/2)x^(-a million/2) - 15x^(-6) = 14x - 5 + a million/(2sqrt(x)) - 15/(x^6) 2. factors the position tangent line is horizontal is the position the slope, or spinoff, is 0. F'(x)=3x^2 + 6x - 24=0 x = -4, 2 change into the unique function to discover the y values. factors (-4, ninety 2) and (2, -16)
