Question

Math question, need help

Answer 1

In general, if we have
`x^a=x^b,` then
`a=b.` Thus, the first answer choice is correct.

Answer 2

`\boxed{\red{2x - 1 = 5x - 14}}`

First answer is correct.

Explanation:

we know that,

`{x}^(a) = {x}^(b)`

`a = b`

So, according to that,

`{5}^((2x - 1)) = {5}^((5x - 14))`

Therefore,

`2x - 1 = 5x - 14`
