Question 1 Report
Simplify \(\frac{ 625(\frac{3x}{4} - 1) + 125^{(x - 1)} }{5^{(3x - 2)}}\)
Write every base as a power of \(5\): \(625=5^{4}\), \(125=5^{3}\).
Numerator:
\[625^{\left(\frac{3x}{4}-1\right)}=5^{4\left(\frac{3x}{4}-1\right)}=5^{3x-4},\qquad 125^{(x-1)}=5^{3(x-1)}=5^{3x-3}\]
So the expression is
\[\frac{5^{3x-4}+5^{3x-3}}{5^{3x-2}}=\frac{5^{3x-4}}{5^{3x-2}}+\frac{5^{3x-3}}{5^{3x-2}}=5^{-2}+5^{-1}\]
\[=\frac{1}{25}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{25}+\frac{5}{25}=\frac{6}{25}\]
