Find the value x.
​5x = 125

Hello Reetu Shree, 5x is different from 5 * x
First one with 5 raised to the power of x but the in the second case 5 is multiplied by x
Both are different
We are given with the first category
125 can be written as base 5 raised to power 3
So ​5x = 53 
Base is the same. So power too must be the same.
Equating we get x = 3
 

  • 3
5 x = 125
x = 125
       5 
x = 25
  • -1
x=125/5
=25
  • -1
5x = 125
transposig  5 to rhs
x=125
      5
x=25
  • -2
25
  • -1
5x = 125
x = 125/5
x = 25
  • -1
