Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x equal the mystery number
Our equation will be:
x - 5 = 1 + 3x
Subtract x from both sides
-5 = 1 + 2x
Subtract 1 from both sides
-6 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
-3 = x
Answer:
I don't really know so sorry about that.
Step-by-step explanation:
5/4 is the constant of proportionality
Let log5 125 = x
Removing log you get 5^x = 125
Rewrite 125 as 5^3
Now 5^x = 5^3
x = 3
