14^{3x+5}=\frac{1}{14}
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
\log(14^{3x+5})=\log(\frac{1}{14})
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
\left(3x+5\right)\log(14)=\log(\frac{1}{14})
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
3x+5=\frac{\log(\frac{1}{14})}{\log(14)}
Divide both sides by \log(14).
3x+5=\log_{14}\left(\frac{1}{14}\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
3x=-1-5
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.
x=-\frac{6}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
