5 10 x = ( 5 5 x ) 2 = 4900 5^{10x} = (5^{5x})^{2}=4900 . Therefore 5 5 x = 4900 = 70 5^{5x}=\sqrt{4900}=70

Given 2 y = 5 2 2^{\sqrt{y}}=5^{2} , we have that 4 y = ( 2 y ) 2 = ( 5 2 ) 2 = 5 4 4^{\sqrt{y}}=(2^{\sqrt{y}})^{2}=(5^{2})^{2}=5^4

So, it is clear that ( 5 x 1 ) 5 4 y = 5 5 x 5 5 1 4 y = = 70 5 5 1 5 4 = 70 × 5 4 5 5 = 70 5 = 14 \frac{(5^{x-1})^5}{4^{-\sqrt{y}}} = \frac {\frac{5^{5x}}{5^{5}}}{\frac {1}{4^{\sqrt{y}}}} = =\frac{\frac{70}{5^{5}}}{\frac{1}{5^{4}}} = \frac{70 \times 5^{4}}{5^{5}} = \frac{70}{5} =14

First thing one should notice here is that x and y must be some irrational numbers (4,900 has other primes then 5 in its prime factorization and 25 doesn't have 2 as a prime at all), so we should manipulate with given expressions rather than to solve for x and y.
