solve/125=25^5x-3

Question

Solve for x. Ifthe answer is not an integer, enter it as a fraction

Answer 1

I'm assuming your problem is 125 = 25^5x-3

 

If so, 125 = 5³    and    25^5x-3 = 5^2(5x-3)

 

5³ = 5^10x-6

 

When the bases are the same, the exponents equal each other.

Thus, 3 = 10x-6

          9 = 10x

         9 = x

        10
