Math Problem Statement

If

log Subscript 5 Baseline x equals 2log5x=2​,

find the value of x without a calculator.

Solution

Given the equation log5x=2\log_5 x = 2, we need to find the value of xx.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Understand the Logarithmic Equation: log5x=2\log_5 x = 2 This equation means that the base 55 raised to the power of 22 gives xx.

  2. Rewrite the Equation in Exponential Form: The equation can be rewritten as: x=52x = 5^2

  3. Calculate the Value of xx: x=25x = 25

So, the value of xx is 2525.
