90\times 3^{-25x}+50=70
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
90\times 3^{-25x}=20
Subtract 50 from both sides of the equation.
3^{-25x}=\frac{2}{9}
Divide both sides by 90.
\log(3^{-25x})=\log(\frac{2}{9})
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
-25x\log(3)=\log(\frac{2}{9})
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
-25x=\frac{\log(\frac{2}{9})}{\log(3)}
Divide both sides by \log(3).
-25x=\log_{3}\left(\frac{2}{9}\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
x=\frac{\log_{3}\left(2\right)-2}{-25}
Divide both sides by -25.
