Answer:

[tex]3^x=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]9^x=25[/tex]

Rewrite 9 as 3²:

[tex]\implies (3^2)^x=25[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad (a^b)^c=a^{bc}:[/tex]

[tex]\implies 3^{2x}=25[/tex]

Apply the same exponent rule:

[tex]\implies (3^x)^2=25[/tex]

Square root both sides:

[tex]\implies \sqrt{(3^x)^2}=\sqrt{25}[/tex]

[tex]\implies 3^x=5[/tex]
