Help me solve logarithm equation?

The equation starts like this:

logx 25 = 2

The following is my work:

x^2=25

√x^2=√25

x= +/- 5

Is it correct or did I miss something completely?

    Thats correct! Logb(n) = p therefore b^p= n

    Rewriting your equation gives Logx (25) = 2

    So x²=25

    X= ±5

    Both your answer and working is correct :)
