1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the equation 12523x=53125^{2-3x} = 5^{-3} for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, we can rewrite 125 as 535^3. So, the equation becomes:
(53)23x=53(5^3)^{2-3x} = 5^{-3}
Using the power of a power rule, (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{mn}, we get:
53(23x)=535^{3(2-3x)} = 5^{-3}
Since the bases are equal, we can set the exponents equal to each other:
3(23x)=33(2-3x) = -3
Distribute the 3 on the left side:
69x=36 - 9x = -3
Subtract 6 from both sides:
9x=36-9x = -3 - 6
9x=9-9x = -9
Divide both sides by -9:
x=99x = \frac{-9}{-9}
x=1x = 1

3. Final Answer

The solution is x=1x = 1.
