let t=(1/(2x))  log_5  (5^(1/x) +125)=log_5  6+1+(1/(2x)) ⇒  log_5  (5^(2t) +5^3 )=log_5  6+(1+t)  log_5  (5^(2t) +5^3 )−log_5  6−log_5  5^(1+t) =0  log_5  ((5^(2t) +5^3 )/(5^(1+t) ×6))=0  ((5^(2t) +5^3 )/(5^(1+t) ×6))=1  ((5^(t−1) +5^(2−t) )/6)=1  5^(t−1) +5^(2−t) =6=5^0 +5^1     possible solutions:  t−1=0 and 2−t=1 ⇒t=1⇒x=(1/2)  t−1=1 and 2−t=0 ⇒t=2 ⇒x=(1/4)

$${let}\:{t}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{x}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \:\left(\mathrm{5}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}} +\mathrm{125}\right)=\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \:\mathrm{6}+\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{x}}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \:\left(\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}{t}} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{3}} \right)=\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \:\mathrm{6}+\left(\mathrm{1}+{t}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \:\left(\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}{t}} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{3}} \right)−\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \:\mathrm{6}−\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \:\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{1}+{t}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \:\frac{\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}{t}} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{1}+{t}} ×\mathrm{6}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}{t}} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{1}+{t}} ×\mathrm{6}}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{5}^{{t}−\mathrm{1}} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}−{t}} }{\mathrm{6}}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}^{{t}−\mathrm{1}} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}−{t}} =\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{0}} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${possible}\:{solutions}: \\ $$$${t}−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0}\:{and}\:\mathrm{2}−{t}=\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow{t}=\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow{x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${t}−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{1}\:{and}\:\mathrm{2}−{t}=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow{t}=\mathrm{2}\:\Rightarrow{x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$

⇒log_5 (5^(1/x) +125)=log_5 6+log_5 5+(1/(2x))  ⇒log_5 (((5^(1/x) +125)/(30)))=(1/(2x))  ⇒(((5^(1/x) +125)/(30)))=5^(1/(2x))   ⇒let y=5^(((1/x)))   ⇒(((y+125)/(30)))=y^(1/2)   ⇒ y+125=30y^(((1/2)))   ⇒y_1 ^(((1/2))) =25  y_2 ^(((1/2))) =5  ⇒1=4x  ⇒1=2x  x_1 =0.25  x_2 =0.5

$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \left(\mathrm{5}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}} +\mathrm{125}\right)=\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \mathrm{6}+\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \mathrm{5}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2x}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{5}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{5}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}} +\mathrm{125}}{\mathrm{30}}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2x}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{\mathrm{5}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}} +\mathrm{125}}{\mathrm{30}}\right)=\mathrm{5}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2x}}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{let}\:\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{5}^{\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}\right)} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{125}}{\mathrm{30}}\right)=\mathrm{y}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{125}=\mathrm{30y}^{\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)} =\mathrm{25} \\ $$$$\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)} =\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{4x} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{2x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{25} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5} \\ $$
