Answer: x = 4

Explanation:

First, we must divide the two, its in a fraction, and as you should know, when we divide exponents, you subtract the exponent on the numerator by the exponent on the denominator. So in this case we are doing 7 - 3 which is equal to 5.


7^5 = 7^x


7^5 = 7^5

Then we still need to subtract
7^1 from
7^5.

So our answer is
7^4

Answer: x = 4
