If 5^x = 125, find the value of x

x=25

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out this equation, you need to remove 5 (which is a multiply as its multiplying by x) from the first side by dividing (divide as you do the opposite operation, divide is the opposite of multiply) it by the other.

x = 125 divided by 5

x=125/5

x=25

It's very easy, just try raising 5 to different powers until you get 125.

5^1 = 5

5^2 = 5*5 = 25

5^3 = 25*5 = 125

Ah, x is 3!
