This?

$ 25 = \sqrt{5(2x + 8)} $

anonymous · Answer

only the 5 with the exponent of 2x+8 @mathstudent55

mathstudent55 · Answer

This?
$25 = \sqrt{5^{2x + 8}} $

@mathstudent55

mathstudent55 · Answer

$ 25 = \sqrt{5}^{2x + 8} $

Rewrite 5 as $5^2$.

Also, $ \sqrt{5} = 5^{\frac{1}{2}} $.

mathstudent55 · Answer

$ 5^{2} = 5^{ \frac{1}{2}(2x +8)} $

$ 5^{2} = 5^{ x + 4} $

That means:

$2 = x + 4$
