Lesson Dealing with Logs: Solve 5^(3x) = 25^(2x+1)

Hi,
Here is my problem:
Solve: 5^(3x) = 25^(2x+1)

I honestly don't know what to do. I've been sick and we have a test coming up! I would guess that somehow you have to get the x's down from being an exponent and get them both on one side. Any help would be great! :)

Then try the lesson here! Step 1: Convert "25" into "52".
