Answer:
Infinitely many.
Step-by-step explanation:
the correct answer is a
X = 3, -1; B
Use log properties, log 5 on both sides, log 5 of 25 is 2 that times the exponent, so 2*x = 2x, and on the other side, log 5 and base of 5 cancels. So 2x = x^2 -3, which can be solved using factoring:
x^2 -2x -3 = (x-3)(x+1) = 0, x=3,-1
