Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

when you multiply numbers with the same base, you add the exponents. you can do this for both the top and bottom equations on the fraction.

b¹ × b⁷ = b⁸

b³ = b² = b

when you divide numbers with the same base, you subtract them.

b⁸ ÷ b⁵ = b³

let me know if you need more detail!

have a wonderful day <3
