Write the equation 10 = 10.

Raise the left 10 to the power 5 log x and the right 10 to the power -5.

Then we have 

    5 log x           -5
10              = 10

This is the same as  

     log x                1
[10         ]^5 = --------------   or x^5 = [10^(-1)]^5
                        100000

This reduces to x = 10^(-1), or     x = 1/10  (answer)
