5 x + 5 x + 3 = 15750 5^{x} + 5^{x+3} = 15750

5 x + 5 x 5 3 = 15750 5^{x} + 5^{x}5^{3} = 15750

5 x ( 1 + 5 3 ) = 15750 5^{x}(1 + 5^{3}) = 15750

5 x ( 1 + 125 ) = 15750 5^{x}(1+125)=15750

5 x × 126 = 15750 5^{x} \times 126 = 15750

5 x = 15750 126 5^{x} = \frac {15750}{126}

5 x = 125 5^{x} = 125

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

x = 3 \therefore \boxed {x=3}

Simple, let 5 x = y 5^x=y

Using the law of exponents, we arrange express the equation as y + 125 y = 15750 y+125y=15750 and y = 125 y=125 , that means that x = 3 \boxed{x=3}

5^x + 5^x+3 = 15750

5^x + 5^x+3 = 15625 + 125

5^x + 5^x+3 = 5^6 + 5^3

(5^x) + (5^x+3) = (5^3) + (5^3+3)

Making the comparison between the equallity, we can conclude: x = 3
