Math question, need help

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\red{2x - 1 = 5x - 14}}$

First answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that,

${x}^{a} = {x}^{b}$

$a = b$

So, according to that,

${5}^{(2x - 1)} = {5}^{(5x - 14)}$

Therefore,

$2x - 1 = 5x - 14$

Answer 2

In general, if we have $x^a=x^b,$ then $a=b.$ Thus, the first answer choice is correct.
