When solving an equation, why is it necessary to perform the same operation on both sides of an equal sign?

To get the right answer you must perform the same operation on both sides of the equation because the equation will not be correct if it is not. If you subtract something from one side to make it equal you must subtract it from both sides.

In order to keep the equation right, both sides have to balance each other. When you only perform an operation ( I'm assuming you're talking about division or multiplication) on one side, it messes up the balance because now one side is larger than the other.

How do you solve this

The answer is 1,800, you would multiply 5 by 10 which is 50 then t would be 50 to the 4th power 50 times 4 is 200. then you do the same on the other side 3 time 10 which is 30 to the second power which is 90 than you multiply 200 and 90 because when you have two parentheses next to each other you always multiply but when you do that your answer turns out to be 1,800
