: Why is this wrong?
Problem#: 12- Solve each exponential equation by expressing each side as a power of the same base and then equating exponents.
12) 125x = 625
I put for a solution as:
5*5*5X=5*5*5*5
(5^3x)=5^4
x=5^4/5^3
x=5
Why is this wrong?
MAYBE THEY WANTED IT LEFT WITH EXPONENTS THUS:
X=5^(4-3)
X=5^1 ?????? This question is from textbook Blitzer
