Question

(25) ^ x = 5 ^ (y - 1)​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=  5 25  x  +5

Step-by-step explanation:

25  

x

=5(y−1)

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by y−1.

25  

x

=5y−5

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

5y−5=25  

x

 

Add 5 to both sides.

5y=25  

x

+5

Divide both sides by 5.

5

5y
