Solve:

5^x+2=47^3x

Thanks guys, I've just been staring out this one for ages and can't think.

Is that $5^{x}+2 = 47^{3x}$ or $5^{x+2} = 47^{3x}$ ?

The second one

In that case:

${\raggedleft5^{x+2}=47^{3x}\\\\ \ln (5^{x+2})=\ln (47^{3x}) \\\\ (x+2)\ln (5)=3x\ln (47)\\\\x(\ln (5)-3\ln(47))=-2\ln (5)\\\\x = \frac{-2\ln(5)}{\ln(5)-3\ln(47)}}$
