xln(2)=yln(3)=zln(5)  y=((xln(2))/(ln(3)))  z=((xln(2))/(ln(5)))  5z=(5/(ln(5))).ln(2)x  3y=((3ln(2))/(ln(3)))x  ln(8)<ln(9)⇒  3ln(2)<2ln(3)  ⇒((3ln(2))/(ln(3)))<2  ⇒3y=((3ln(2))/(ln(3)))x<2x  ((5ln(2))/(ln(5)))>2⇔ln(32)>ln(25) True⇒  5z=((5ln(2))/(ln(5)))x>2x⇒5z>2x>3y

$${xln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)={yln}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)={zln}\left(\mathrm{5}\right) \\ $$ $${y}=\frac{{xln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)}{{ln}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)} \\ $$ $${z}=\frac{{xln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)}{{ln}\left(\mathrm{5}\right)} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{5}{z}=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{{ln}\left(\mathrm{5}\right)}.{ln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right){x} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{3}{y}=\frac{\mathrm{3}{ln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)}{{ln}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)}{x} \\ $$ $${ln}\left(\mathrm{8}\right)<{ln}\left(\mathrm{9}\right)\Rightarrow \\ $$ $$\mathrm{3}{ln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)<\mathrm{2}{ln}\left(\mathrm{3}\right) \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{3}{ln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)}{{ln}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)}<\mathrm{2} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\mathrm{3}{y}=\frac{\mathrm{3}{ln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)}{{ln}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)}{x}<\mathrm{2}{x} \\ $$ $$\frac{\mathrm{5}{ln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)}{{ln}\left(\mathrm{5}\right)}>\mathrm{2}\Leftrightarrow{ln}\left(\mathrm{32}\right)>{ln}\left(\mathrm{25}\right)\:{True}\Rightarrow \\ $$ $$\mathrm{5}{z}=\frac{\mathrm{5}{ln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)}{{ln}\left(\mathrm{5}\right)}{x}>\mathrm{2}{x}\Rightarrow\mathrm{5}{z}>\mathrm{2}{x}>\mathrm{3}{y} \\ $$

2^x =3^y =5^z ⇒x.log_3 2=y=z.log_3 5  2x=2((y/(1og_3 2)))=y.2log_2 3≈3.16y  5z=...=z×5log_5 3≈3.41y  ⇒3y<2x<5z

$$\mathrm{2}^{{x}} =\mathrm{3}^{{y}} =\mathrm{5}^{{z}} \Rightarrow\mathrm{x}.\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{3}} \mathrm{2}=\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{z}.\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{3}} \mathrm{5} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{2x}=\mathrm{2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{1og}_{\mathrm{3}} \mathrm{2}}\right)=\mathrm{y}.\mathrm{2log}_{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{3}\approx\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{16y} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{5z}=...=\mathrm{z}×\mathrm{5log}_{\mathrm{5}} \mathrm{3}\approx\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{41y} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\mathrm{3y}<\mathrm{2x}<\mathrm{5z} \\ $$
