8 × 5^x = 23

→ 5^x = 2.875

→ x log 5 = log 2.875

→ x = log 2.875 ÷ log 5

(You can use logs to any base as long as the same base is used for both of the logs.)

I assume you want to solve for "x". Why don't you start getting rid of the "8" - divide both sides by 8. After that, the next step involves taking logarithms on both sides.

Why everything to power of zero is equal to one?

x to the power a divided by x to the power b is x to the power (a - b) When a and b are equal then this is x to the power a divided by x to the power a, ie 1. x to the power (a - a) = x to the power zero. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other, so 1 = x to the power zero.
