Firstly we have to find the prime factors of 759375 759375 .

759375 = ( 3 × 5 ) 5 = 3 5 × 5 5 759375= (3\times5)^{5} =3^{5} \times 5^{5}

This question can be written in the other way to make it easier to solve.

l o g 3 x 759375 = x log_{3x}759375=x can be written as: 3 x x = 759375 3x^{x}=759375

( 3 × x ) x = 3 5 × 5 5 (3 \times x)^{x}=3^{5} \times 5^{5}

3 x × x x = 3 5 × 5 5 3^{x} \times x^{x}=3^{5} \times 5^{5}

So, x = 5 x=5

Thus, the answer is: x = 5 x=\boxed{5}

First, factor the given number

(%i3) factor(759375);
                                      5  5
(%o3)                                3  5

l o g 3 x 759375 = x 759375 = ( 3 x ) x 3 5 5 5 = 3 x x x x = 5 log_{3x}759375 = x\\ \implies 759375 = (3x)^x\\ \implies 3^55^5 =3^x x^x\\ \implies x = 5
