(25)7.5 x (5)2.5 ÷ (125)1.5 = 5?
8.5
13
16
17.5
Explanation:
Let (25)7.5 x (5)2.5 ÷ (125)1.5 = 5x
Then,$\dfrac{(5^{2})^{7.5}\times(5)^{2.5}}{(5^{3})^{1.5}}=5^{x}$
$\Rightarrow\dfrac{5^{(2\times7.5)}\times5^{2.5}}{5^{(3\times1.5)}}= 5^{x}$
$\Rightarrow\dfrac{5^{15}\times5^{2.5}}{5^{4.5}}= 5^{x}$
$\Rightarrow 5^{x}$=5(15+2.5-4.5)
$\Rightarrow 5^{x}$=5(13)
$\therefore$ x = 13.
