#x = 1/(5e^2) - 1/5#

Explanation:

#5 ln (5x + 1) - 17 = -27#

#5 ln(5x+1) = -10#

#ln(5x+1) = -10/5#

#ln(5x+1) = -2#

To eliminate #ln# from the equation, we can use the property #e^(ln x) = x#.

#e^(ln(5x+1)) = e^(-2)#

#5x + 1 = e^(-2)#

#5x = e^(-2) - 1#

#x = (e^(-2) - 1)/5#

#x = e^(-2)/5 - 1/5#

#x = 1/(5e^2) - 1/5#
