Question

`25^x=125^x^+^3` = 125x + 3

Answer 1

x is -9

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = -9

Explanation:

25^x = 125 ^(x+3)

Rewriting

5^2^x = 5^3^(x+3)

We know a^b^c = a^(b*c)

5^(2x) = 5^(3(x+3))

5^(2x) = 5^(3x+9)

The bases are the same so the exponents are the same

2x = 3x+9

Subtract 3x from each side

2x-3x = 3x+9-3x

-x =9

x = -9
