Note that when dividing, and the base is the same, you can subtract the power signs.
(5^5)/(5^2) = 5^(5 - 2)
5 - 2 = 3
5^3 = a^b
Simplify.
5^3 = 5 x 5 x 5
5 x 5 x 5 = 125
c = 125

Answer:
1.Equation ----- 8x=12
2. x=1.5
3. cost of a single song is $1.5
4.$12 gift card will download 8 songs
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of money the gift card holds is $12
Number of songs bought= 8 songs
Let the cost of a single song to be =$x
The cost of 8 songs will be =$x × 8=$ 8x
So the 8 songs will all cost $12
This means; $ 8x = $12
Equation------ 8x=12
Finding cost of a single song
8x=12------------------divide by 8 both sides
x=12/8------------------simplify
x=3/2 = $ 1.5
Checking for solution
if a single song costs $1.5 , who many songs can a gift card with $12 download?
Here we divide $12 by $1.5 = $12/$1.5= 8 songs------------correct number of songs as mentioned in the question.
