Question

5^x-3=1/25

`{5}^(x - 3) = (1)/(25)`

Answer 1

The first step for solving this is to write the expression on the right side of the equation in exponential form.

`5^(x-3) = 5^(-2)`
Since the bases are the same,, set the exponents equal to each other.
x - 3 = -2
Now move the constant to the right side and then change its sign.
x = -2 + 3
Now calculate the sum to get your final answer.
x = 1
This means that the correct answer to your equation is going to be x = 1.
