To solve this equation, we can first rewrite it as:
(5^-x)^2 - 30 * 5^-x + 125 = 0
Now, let's make a substitution to simplify the equation. Let y = 5^-x.
Now the equation becomes:
y^2 - 30y + 125 = 0
This is a quadratic equation that we can solve by factoring:
(y - 25)(y - 5) = 0
So, y = 25 or y = 5.
Now, let's substitute back y = 5^-x:
5^-x = 25x = log5(25)x = 2
Or,
5^-x = 5x = log5(5)x = 1
Therefore, the solutions to the equation 5^-2x - 30 * 5^-x + 125 = 0 are x = 2 and x = 1.
