Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If 5^x = 25, what is the value of x?
  • Step 1: Start with the equation 5^x = 25.
  • Step 2: Recognize that 25 can be rewritten as 5 raised to a power. Specifically, 25 = 5^2.
  • Step 3: Now rewrite the equation using this information: 5^x = 5^2.
  • Step 4: Since the bases (5) are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other: x = 2.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the value of x is 2.
  • Exponential Equations – Understanding how to manipulate and solve equations involving exponents.
  • Base Matching – Recognizing that if the bases are the same, the exponents must be equal.
