Laws of Logarithms HELP!
I need to use laws of logarithms methods to simplify and evaluate these equation

5n = 7 x 2n, rearrange and make n the subject

θ = 250 x e-0.05 x t and make t the subject

and continuing from that

what is the value of t when θ = 195C

I need log to the base 10 to be used preferably

$n=\frac{\log_{10}(7)}{\log_{10}(5)-\log_{10}(2)}$

$\left( {\frac{5}{2}} \right)^n = 7$
