Find x if 5^(2x+1) +5^(2x)= 3750
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Your original equation 

     = 3750

can be EQUIVALENTLY re-written in the form

     = 3750,

or

     = 3750.


It implies

      =  = 625.


So, we have 

     = 625 = .


Hence,

     2x = 4,   x = 4/2 = 2.

Find x if 5^(2x+1) +5^(2x)= 3750


(a^m*a^n= a^(m+n)
we get
5*5^(2x) +5^(2x)= 3750

5^(2x)*(5+1) 3750
5^2x = 3750/5 = 625
5^(2x) = 5^4= 5^(2*2)
Base same compare indices
2x=4
x=2
