5x=125 to the 6th power over 25 to the 4th power

so 5x= 1256/254

well 25 is 52
and 125 is 55

5x= (5^3)^6)/((5^2)^4)=5^18/5^8 = 5^10
dividing by 5

x= 5^9

check my thinking.

looks good to me

I suggest inputting your problem into the wolframalpha calculator. You will need to format it like this: 5x= 125^6/25^4

Blessings!

While this is true it will not enable the student to demonstrate the use of powers. Many questions are not about the answer, rather about the learning outcomes that are demonstrated when answering the question.

To solve the equation 5x = (125^6) / (25^4), we need to simplify the expression on the right side first.

Let's start by simplifying the numerator, (125^6).

To find the value of (125^6), we raise 125 to the power of 6:
125^6 = 244,140,625

Next, let's simplify the denominator, (25^4).

To find the value of (25^4), we raise 25 to the power of 4:
25^4 = 390,625

Now, let's substitute the values back into the equation:

5x = 244,140,625 / 390,625

To simplify the right side further, we can divide the numerator by the denominator:

5x = 625

Finally, to isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 625 / 5

Simplifying further:

x = 125

So, the solution to the equation 5x = (125^6) / (25^4) is x = 125.
