For the given expression to become an equation, you'll
have to write:
(3/5)^6(x+1)-(27/125)^(x-3) =
0
We notice that 27/125 =
(3/5)^3
Writing 27/125 as (3/5)^3, we'll create matching
bases.
The equation will
become:
(3/5)^6(x+1)-(3/5)^3(x-3) =
0
We'll shift (3/5)^3(x-3) to the
right:
(3/5)^6(x+1) =
(3/5)^3(x-3)
Since the bases are matching, we'll apply one
to one rule of exponentials:
6(x+1) =
3(x-3)
We'll divide by
3:
2(x+1) = x - 3
We'll remove
the brackets:
2x + 2 = x -
3
We'll isolate x to the left
side:
2x - x = -2 - 3
x =
-5
The solution of the equation is x =
-5.
