Question

5 the power x minus 2 is equal to 25

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose you mean 5 ^(x - 2) = 25

Given:

5 ^(x - 2) = 25

Process:

5 ^(x - 2) = 25

=> 5^(x - 2) = 5²

We know that when bases are same, powers are equal.

Therefore, (x - 2) = 2

=> x = 2 + 2

=> x = 4

Answer:

x = 4
