To solve the exponential equations given, we will work through them step by step.

  1. For the first equation:
    \( 12^{2-5} = 12^{x} \)
    Simplifying the left side:
    \( 12^{-3} = 12^{x} \)
    Therefore, \( x = -3 \).

  2. For the second equation:
    \( 3^{x-4} + 2^{x} = 1.23^{x} \) (Assuming a format correction as the equation isn't clearly defined). Solving this would typically require a numerical method or graphing, and cannot be directly solved without further context.

  3. For the third equation:
    \( 3^{3}(2^{x+7}) = 5^{2} \)
    Equals \( 27 \cdot 2^{x+7} = 25 \).
    To isolate \( x \), we find:
    \( 2^{x+7} = \frac{25}{27} \)
    Solving for \( x \), we would take logarithms for the \( 2^{x} \) term which is again not directly solvable without further specifics.

  4. The last part states \( 5275 - 93 = 25 \), which appears to be an arithmetic operation and not an exponential equation. The current resolution can be implied as \( x = 3 \).

Final match summary:

  • The equation that solved to \( x = -3 \) is matched with \( 12^{2-5} \).
  • The equation \( x = 3 \) appears to match the last operation of addition since it's not exponential.

It would be best if you provide clearer formatting for each equation for precise matching and solution steps.
