Answer:

The value of x is 2/7 or 0.285

Explanation:

Here, we will make equivalent expressions in the equation that all have equal bases.

6²⁽⁶ˣ⁻¹⁾ = 6⁵ˣ

Since, The bases are the same i.e., 6. So, exponent are also same

2(6x - 1) = 5x

Solve for x

12x - 2 = 5x

12x - 5x - 2 + 2 = 5x - 5x + 2

7x = 2

7x/7 = 2/7

x = 2/7 = 0.285

Thus, The value of x is 2/7 or 0.285

For verification

36⁶ˣ⁻¹ = 6⁵ˣ

36⁶⁽⁰°²⁸⁵⁾ ⁻ ¹ = 6⁵⁽⁰°²⁸⁵⁾

36¹°⁷¹ ⁻ ¹ = 6¹°⁴²⁵

36⁰°⁷¹ = 6¹°⁴²⁵

12.7 = 12.7

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S
