Question

5^(x+1)=25

Answer 1

hint: you can rewrite 25 as 5^2 so...
\[\huge 5^{x+1} = 5^2\]
can you see what to do now? or do you need more help?

Answer 2

I need more help, please.

Answer 3

when you have same bases but different exponents, you can just equate the expoennts

for example:

\[\huge 2^ x = 2^2 \implies x = 2\]
or
\[\huge 3^{x + 4} = 3^3 \implies x + 4 = 3 \implies x = -1\]
do you get it now?

Answer 4

Ah, yes!! So would the answer be x=1?

Answer 5

yep
