Answer:
z = [tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of exponents
[tex](a^m)^{n}[/tex] = [tex]a^{mn}[/tex] , then
[tex]25^{z-4}[/tex] = 125 [ 25 = 5² and 125 = 5³ ]
[tex](5^2)^{z-4}[/tex] = 5³
[tex]5^{2z-8}[/tex] = 5³
Since the bases on both sides are equal, both 5, then equate the exponents
2z - 8 = 3 ( add 8 to both sides )
2z = 11 ( divide both sides by 2 )
z = [tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex] ( = 5.5 )
