We know that x p q = ( x p ) q = ( x q ) p x^{pq}=(x^p)^q=(x^q)^p \quad and x p + q = x p × x q \quad x^{p+q}=x^p\times x^q for any number x , p , q x,p,q .

Given that,

5 3 x = 8 5^{3x}=8

( 5 x ) 3 = 2 3 \implies (5^x)^3=2^3

Comparing both sides -----

5 x = 2 5^x=\boxed{2}

Now, we can find 5 3 + x 5^{3+x} using the value of 5 x 5^x as follows --->

5 3 + x = 5 3 × 5 x = 125 × 2 = 250 5^{3+x}=5^3\times 5^x = 125\times 2 =\boxed{250}

Since 5 3 x = 8 5^{3x}=8 , it must follow that 5 3 x 3 = 8 3 5 x = 2 \sqrt[3]{5^{3x}}=\sqrt[3]{8} \Longrightarrow 5^{x}=2 . Now, since 5 3 + x = 5 3 5 x 5^{3+x}=5^3 \cdot 5^x , everything is clear from here: 5 3 5 x = 125 2 = 250 5^3 \cdot 5^x=125 \cdot 2=\boxed{250}

{ 5 }^{ 3x } can be written as { 5 }^{ \left( x \right) { \left( 3 \right) } }

But as it is given that { 5 }^{ \left( x \right) { \left( 3 \right) } } = 8 So, { 5 }^{ x } = \sqrt [ 3 ]{ 8 } and { 5 }^{ x } = 2...

Now coming to the question... { 5 }^{ 3+x } = { 5 }^{ x } \times { 5 }^{ 3 } But, { 5 }^{ x } = 2 So, substituting the value of { 5 }^{ x }

we get { 5 }^{ 3+x } = 2 \times 125 Which equals 250...

5^{x}=2

5^{3+x}=5^{3} \times 5^{x} = 125 \times 2 = \boxed{250}

Hi all,

1st step, as 5^(3x) =8,

(5^x)^3 = 2^3

5^x = 2 , as 5^(3+x)= 5^3 . 5^x,

substitute 5 ^ x=2 into 5^3 . 5^x, 5^3 . 2 = 125 . 2=250

Thanks...
