Question

5:(x-8) =5³ : 5

 

Answer 1

5 : ( x - 8 ) = 125 : 5 = 25

25 : 5 = x -8

5 = x - 8

x = 8+5=13

Answer 2

5 : (x - 8) = 5^3 : 5

5 : (x - 8) = 5^2

5 : (x - 8) = 25

      x - 8   = 5 : 25

      x - 8   = 1/5

      x        = 1/5 + 8

      x        = 41/5

Answer 3

5:(x-8)=5²

(x-8)=5: 5²

(x-8)=5^-1=1/5

x=1/5+8=41/5
