Let us solve the equation step by step.

$3^{5x}+3^{5x+2}=810$

by the exponential property: $b^{x+y}=b^x cdot b^y$ ,

$Rightarrow 3^{5x}+3^{5x}cdot3^2=810$

by factoring out $3^{5x}$ ,

$Rightarrow 3^{5x}(1+3^2)=810 Rightarrow 3^{5x}cdot 10=810$

by dividing by $10$ ,

$3^{5x}=81=3^4$

by matching the powers,

$5x=4$

by dividing by $5$ ,

$x=4/5$

I hope that this was helpful.
