Answer:
N = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so try this.
125 is 5^3, right?
And in this equation, we have 5 to the power of 2n-2 is equal to 125.
You need to make sure that the exponent ends up as 3.
How would you do this?
Try substituting N for 3.
That's too big.
Try Substituting N for 2.
That's a bit too small.
What number is in between 2 and 3?
2.5 is.
N = 2.5
Check your work, and see if you came up with the same answer
Work:
2.5 x 2 = 5
5 - 3 = 2
5^3 = 125
