The solution

You have entered [src]
 9 - x     
5      = 64
$$5^{9 - x} = 64$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$5^{9 - x} = 64$$
or
$$5^{9 - x} - 64 = 0$$
or
$$1953125 \cdot 5^{- x} = 64$$
or
$$\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{x} = \frac{64}{1953125}$$
- this is the simplest exponential equation
Do replacement
$$v = \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{x}$$
we get
$$v - \frac{64}{1953125} = 0$$
or
$$v - \frac{64}{1953125} = 0$$
Move free summands (without v)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$v = \frac{64}{1953125}$$
We get the answer: v = 64/1953125
do backward replacement
$$\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{x} = v$$
or
$$x = - \frac{\log{\left(v \right)}}{\log{\left(5 \right)}}$$
The final answer
$$x_{1} = \frac{\log{\left(\frac{64}{1953125} \right)}}{\log{\left(\frac{1}{5} \right)}} = - \frac{6 \log{\left(2 \right)}}{\log{\left(5 \right)}} + 9$$
