H+5x5= 1265*(7+5) = 126
5° (14125) = 126
57 x 끓을= 126
5T = 25

The expression is given as


5^(x-2)+5^(x+1)=126

Solve for x.


(5^x)/(5^2)+5^x*5=126
5^x((1)/(25)+5)=126
5^x((1+125)/(25))=126
5^x*(126)/(25)=126
5^x=25
5^x=5^2

Compare the power and find the value of x.


x=2

Hence the value of x is 2.
