5^(2x-3y)=625

1 answer

Since 625 = 5⁴ you can write your equation as:

5^(2x-3y) = 625

5^(2x-3y) = 5⁴

The base is the same, so you can write:

2 x - 3 y = 4

Subtract 2 x zo both sides.

- 3 y = - 2 x + 4

Divide both sides by - 3

y = 2 / 3 x - 4 / 3

So your equation is equivalent to this equation of a straight line.
