Question

If 53x - 1 ÷ 25 = 125, find the value of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x is 3124/53

Step-by-step explanation:

53x - 1 /25 = 125

53x - 1 = 125 x 25

53x - 1 = 3125

53x = 3125 - 1

53x = 3124

x = 3124/53

Answer 2

Answer:

x=2 now this is the correct answer only if 53x-3 was actually $5^3^x^-^1$

Step-by-step explanation:

so        $5^3^x^-^1$ ÷ 25 = 125
$5^3^x^-^1$ ÷ $5^2$ = $5^3$

$5^3^x^-^3 = 5^3$ as bases are now same

3x-3 = 3
3x=6
therfore x is 2
