Question

Find the value of x if (2) x-7 *(5) x-4=1250

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2^( x - 7 ) × 5^( x - 4 ) = 1250

1250 = 2 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5

2^( x - 7 ) × 5^( x - 4 ) = 2^1 × 5^4

So, x - 7 = 1

x = 7 + 1 or x = 8

Or

x - 4 = 4

x = 4 + 4 or x = 8

Hence, value of x = 8

Answer 2

Correct question:

$\longrightarrow\rm{2^{(x - 7)} \times 5^{(x - 4)} = 1250}$

ㅤ

Required answer:

$\longrightarrow\rm{2^{(x - 7)} \times 5^{(x - 4)} = 1250}$

ㅤ

$\longrightarrow\rm{1250 = 2 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5}$

ㅤ

$\longrightarrow\rm{2^{(x - 7)} \times 5^{(x - 4)} = 2^{1} \times 5^{4}}$

ㅤ ㅤ

$\longrightarrow\rm{x - 7 = 1}$

ㅤ

Transposing 7 to the other the other side, we get:

$\longrightarrow\rm{x = 7 + 1}$

ㅤ

${\longrightarrow{\boxed{\rm{x = 8}}}}$

ㅤ

Therefore, 8 is the required value of x in the given expression.
