25^{3k}=629
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
\log(25^{3k})=\log(629)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
3k\log(25)=\log(629)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
3k=\frac{\log(629)}{\log(25)}
Divide both sides by \log(25).
3k=\log_{25}\left(629\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
k=\frac{\log_{5}\left(629\right)}{2\times 3}
Divide both sides by 3.
