Solving logarithmic equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a logarithmic equation by converting it to exponential form. It begins with isolating the logarithm by multiplying by the reciprocal, then converting the equation to exponential form. The instructor uses a calculator to find the power of 5 and solves for X, rounding the result to 2.083. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps taken to solve the equation.

Explain the process of dividing both sides of the equation by -12.

What is the final value of X after solving the equation?
