Question

Find the value of m for which 5m / 5-3 = 55.

hintHint:

In Mathematics, lets say, "a" represents a number and "n" is the number of times that number is to be multiplied with itself, in order to get a desired result. Then, such result can be written as an, where a is called the base and n is its power/ exponent.
an = a × a × ... × a                         n times.

The correct answer is: Value of m for the given equation is 2.


    Step-by-step solution:-
    5m / 5-3 = 55
    ∴ 5m-(-3) = 55 …...................................................... (an / am = an-m)
    ∴ 5m+3 = 55
    ∴ m+3 = 5 …......................................................... (Exponents of the same base in an equation are equal)
    ∴ m = 5 - 3
    ∴ m = 2
    Final Answer:-
    ∴ Value of m for the given equation is 2.
