Answer:  " x = 9 "  .
____________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________
To calculate the mean:
____________________________________
The mean = 

     {the sum of all the values in the number set} ÷ 

     {the number of values in the data set} ;
____________________________________
 To solve for "x" ;
____________________________________
Given that the "mean" is:  "8" ;
____________________________________
            8  =  { 3 + 7 + 9 + 12 + x }  /  5  ;
____________________________________ 
    ↔  { 3 + 7 + 9 + 12 + x }  /  5   =  8  ;
____________________________________
            →  { 3 + 7 + 9 + 12 + x }  = 8 * 5  ;
____________________________________
            →  { 31 + x } = 40  ;
____________________________________
            ↔   x + 31  = 40  ;
____________________________________
       Subtract "31" from EACH SIDE of the equation; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________
            →   x + 31 − 31  =  40 − 31  ;

                       →  x = 9  .

What eqauls to 31.25
RSB [31]

125 = 5^3 = 25 * 5

4 \cdot \sqrt{125} = 4 \sqrt{25 \cdot 5} = 4 \cdot 5 \sqrt{5} = 20\sqrt{5}

The simplification you are trying to do involves finding the prime factorization of a number. Since 125 is not divisible by 2, move on to 3. 125 is also not divisible by 3, so move on to 5. Then 125/5 = 25, and 25/5 = 5, so 125 = 5^3. The prime factorization of 125 is 5^3.
