If $ 25^{x-1}=5^{2 x-1}-100 $, find the value of $ x $.
Given:
\( 25^{x-1}=5^{2 x-1}-100 \)
To do:
We have to find the value of $x$.
Solution:
$25^{x-1}=5^{2x-1}-100$
$(5^2)^{x-1}=5^{2x-1}-100$
$5^{2x-2}-5^{2x-1}=-100$
$5^{2x-1}(5^{-1}-1)=-100$
$5^{2x-1}(\frac{1}{5}-1)=-100$
$5^{2x-1}(1-\frac{1}{5})=100$
$5^{2x-1}(\frac{5-1}{5})=100$
$5^{2x-1}(\frac{4}{5})=100$
$5^{2x-1}(2^2)\times5^{-1}=(25\times4)$
$5^{2x-2}(2^2)=(5^2\times2^2)$
Comparing both sides, we get,
$2x-2=2$
$2x=2+2$
$2x=4$
$x=2$
Therefore, the value of $x$ is $2$.
