3x + 12 - 5x = 22
-2x + 12 = 22
-2x = 10
x = -5

Write the equation out, x is going to be your unknown number.
Combine like terms.
We have to isolate x, so get rid of the 12 by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.
Divide by -2.

What expression is equivalent to
Vladimir [108]
One way to approach this would be to express 125^2 as (125)(125).

Note also that 125^(4^3) = 125^(1 + 1/3) = (125)(5)

Therefore, the given expression boils down to   

(125)(125)       125
--------------- = ------- = 25
   5 (125)             5

There are other ways in which you could reduce the given expression.
