\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{5^{x - 2} = 5^8}

\mathsf{5^{x - 2} = 5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5}

\mathsf{5^{x - 2} = 25\times25\times25\times25}

\mathsf{5^{x - 2} = 625\times625}

\mathsf{5^{x - 2} =390,625}

\large\textsf{Solving for the exponent:}

\mathsf{5^{x - 2} =390,625}

\large\textsf{Take the log (logarithm) to both of the sides:}

\mathsf{log(5^{x - 2} \rightarrow  log(390,625)}

\large\textsf{Simplify it:}

\mathsf{(x - 2) \times(log (5)) \rightarrow log(390,625)}

\large\textsf{Simplify that as well:}

\mathsf{x - 2 = \dfrac{log(390,625)}{log(5)}}

\large\textsf{You get it: }\mathsf{x - 2 = 8}

\large\textsf{ADD by 2 to BOTH of the SIDES:}

\mathsf{x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2}

\large\textsf{Simplify it:}

\mathsf{x = 8 + 2}

\mathsf{x = 10}


\huge\textsf{Therefore, your answer should be:}

\huge\boxed{\mathsf{x =} \frak{10}}\huge\checkmark

Answer:

\fbox{x=10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

{5}^{x - 2}  =  {5}^{8}

<em>Since base of both the equivalent is same hence the exponent will also be equal to each other.</em>

Comparing the exponent of LHS & RHS,

x-2 =8

adding 2 on both the side,

x-2+2= 8+2

\fbox{x=10}

Plss help me and explaim too​
masya89 [10]

Answer:

a = b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar thus ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{10}{2} = \frac{5}{b} ( cross- multiply )

10b = 10 ( divide both sides by 10 )

b = 1

and

\frac{10}{2} = \frac{5}{a} ( cross- multiply )

10a = 10 ( divide both sides by 10 )

a = 1

Thus a = 1 and b = 1

Express in the form n : 1. Give n as a decimal. 8:16​
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

8:16 can be written as 1:2.

Now, 1:2 can be written as 0.5:1.

It is in the form of n:1 where n is 0.5.

brainliest if im correct? :)
