Question

How would I solve 1/5=125^x

Answer 1

This is a log equation. To solve

125^x = 1/5
x log 125 = log 1/5
x = log (1/5) / log 125

`x = -(1)/(3)`

To show that we are correct. Input -1/3 for x
`125^(-1/3)` with a calculator and it will = 1/5, meaning it is correct.


`125^(-1/3) = (1)/(5)`

Answer 2

Hi there,

This question is a bit weird lol, but anyway here is how to do it and the answer:

1/5 = 123² x
1/5 = 15625x
15625x = 1/5

Hence, X = 1/5

Hope this helps :)
