Answer:
x = -3
There is a base f 5 on the left side, so write the denominator on the right as a base of
5 as well.
5
x
=
1
125
3
Move the base to the numerator.
−
If the bases are equal, the indices are equal:
The answer is 1/625
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason is because 5a = 1/125
Therefore, to find the value of "a" we need to divide!
So, a = 1/125 / 5
⇒ 1/125 × 1/5 ( Reciprocal when we divide )
⇒ 1/125 × 5
→ 1/625
I hope this answer helps!
