2 5 27 − 2 5 25 = 5 52 × x = 2 5 25 ( 2 5 2 − 1 ) = 5 52 × x = 5 50 × 624 = 5 52 × x = 5 52 × 624 25 = 5 52 × x ⟹ x = 624 25 = 24.96 \begin{aligned} 25^{27}-25^{25}=5^{52}\times x \\ & = 25^{25}(25^2-1)=5^{52}\times x \\ &=5^{50}\times 624= 5^{52}\times x \\ & = 5^{52}\times \frac{624}{25}=5^{52}\times x \\ & \implies x=\frac{624}{25}=\boxed{24.96}\end{aligned}

It should be, in the step having arrow, x=624/25

2 5 27 − 2 5 25 = 5 52 x \huge{25^{27}-25^{25}=5^{52}x}

5 2 ( 27 ) − 5 2 ( 25 ) = 5 52 x \huge{5^{2(27)}-5^{2(25)}=5^{52}x}

5 54 − 5 50 = 5 52 x \huge{5^{54}-5^{50}=5^{52}x}

5 50 ( 5 4 − 1 ) = 5 52 x \huge{5^{50}(5^4-1)=5^{52}x}

5 4 − 1 = 5 2 x \huge{5^4-1=5^2x}

x = 5 4 − 1 5 2 = 24.69 \huge{x=\dfrac{5^4-1}{5^2}=\boxed{24.69}}
