Answer:

Possibly 3^3

Explanation:

What is meant by "g superscript x-1 - 2=25?"

g^(
^(x-1)) - 2 = 25 ?

If so,

g^(
^(x-1)) - 2 = 25

g^(
^(x-1)) = 27

We aren't given any information about g. In the absence any any clue, lets make a convenient assumption. We know that 27 is the result of 3^3:

3 x 3 x 3 = 27

3^3 = 27

g^(
^(x-1)) = 27 would mean that g = 3 and x = 4: 3^(4-1) is 3^3 or 27
