Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we use indicies to solving this mathematical expression.
5ˣ( x - 1 )
from the laws of indicies,
5⁰ = 1 ,
Therefore,
5ˣ( x - 1 ) = 5⁰,
considering the equation now, 5 is common to both the left and right hand of the equation, we divide by 5, we now have
x( x - 1 ) = 0
Now open the bracket, we now have
x² - x = 0
factorise
x( x - 1 ) = 0
Therefore
x = 0 or x = 1
