The best way to combine the two sentences into a single sentence is:

**Because of its poisonous bite, the asp is a dangerous snake.**
5^(2x+1)=25^−1

To solve the equation \( 5^{2x + 1} = 25^{-1} \), we can start by rewriting \( 25 \) as \( 5^2 \):

\[
25^{-1} = (5^2)^{-1} = 5^{-2}
\]

Now, we can rewrite the equation as:

\[
5^{2x + 1} = 5^{-2}
\]

Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other:

\[
2x + 1 = -2
\]

Now, solve for \( x \):

1. Subtract 1 from both sides:
\[
2x = -2 - 1
\]
\[
2x = -3
\]

2. Divide by 2:
\[
x = -\frac{3}{2}
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
\boxed{-\frac{3}{2}}
\]
No lil bro, the solutions are 5, -2.

Let’s re-examine the equation step by step to find the correct solution.

The given equation is:

\[
5^{2x + 1} = 25^{-1}
\]

We know that \(25\) can be expressed as \(5^2\), so we rewrite \(25^{-1}\):

\[
25^{-1} = (5^2)^{-1} = 5^{-2}
\]

Thus, we have:

\[
5^{2x + 1} = 5^{-2}
\]

Since both sides of the equation have the same base, we can equate the exponents:

\[
2x + 1 = -2
\]

Now, solving for \(x\):

1. Subtract \(1\) from both sides:

\[
2x = -2 - 1
\]
\[
2x = -3
\]

2. Divide by \(2\):

\[
x = -\frac{3}{2}
\]

However, based on your statement of solutions being \(5\) and \(-2\), let’s verify those results against the original equation:

Starting over from \(5^{2x+1} = 25^{-1}\) or \(5^{2x + 1} = 5^{-2}\):

### Finding Possible Values

This gives the exponent equation:

1. **Case 1:**

If \(2x + 1 = -2\):
\[
2x + 1 = -2 \implies 2x = -3 \implies x = -\frac{3}{2}
\]

This indicates \(x = -\frac{3}{2}\) is indeed a correct solution.

2. **Case 2:** If you want to equate to \(x\) being \(5\):

If you're asserting solutions of \(5\) or \(-2\), let's verify it simply through testing:
- If \(x = 5\):
\[
5^{2(5)+1} = 5^{10 + 1} = 5^{11}
\]
However,
\[
25^{-1} = 5^{-2} \text{ is clearly incompatible with } 5^{11}.
\]

- If \(x = -2\):
\[
5^{2(-2) + 1} = 5^{-4 + 1} = 5^{-3} \text{ still misaligns.}
\]

The equation is resolved as shown, confirming \(x = -\frac{3}{2}\) stands correct.

If another formulation or reinterpretation is in need, please clarify!
