solve for x:     5^x  + 5x = 140
$$\mathrm{solve}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{x}:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{x}} \:+\:\mathrm{5x}\:=\:\mathrm{140} \\ $$

5^x =(28−x)×5  5^(x−28) =(28−x)×5^(−27)   e^((x−28)ln 5) =(28−x)×5^(−27)   5^(27) ×ln 5=(28−x)ln 5 e^((28−x)ln 5)   ⇒(28−x)ln 5=W(5^(27) ln 5)  ⇒x=28−((W(5^(27) ln 5))/(ln 5))=28−((40.2359)/(ln 5))=3
$$\mathrm{5}^{{x}} =\left(\mathrm{28}−{x}\right)×\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}^{{x}−\mathrm{28}} =\left(\mathrm{28}−{x}\right)×\mathrm{5}^{−\mathrm{27}} \\ $$$${e}^{\left({x}−\mathrm{28}\right)\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{5}} =\left(\mathrm{28}−{x}\right)×\mathrm{5}^{−\mathrm{27}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{27}} ×\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{5}=\left(\mathrm{28}−{x}\right)\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{5}\:{e}^{\left(\mathrm{28}−{x}\right)\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left(\mathrm{28}−{x}\right)\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{5}=\mathbb{W}\left(\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{27}} \mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{5}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{28}−\frac{\mathbb{W}\left(\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{27}} \mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{5}\right)}{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{28}−\frac{\mathrm{40}.\mathrm{2359}}{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$

5^3 +5×3=140
$$\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{140} \\ $$
