To solve this equation, we first need to simplify it:
(1/5)^21 - 2x = 25^3x + 7
We can rewrite (1/5)^21 as 5^(-21):
5^(-21) - 2x = 25^3x + 7
Next, we can simplify 25^3x as (5^2)^3x = 5^6x:
5^(-21) - 2x = 5^6x + 7
Now we need to get the bases of the exponents to be the same:
5^(-21) = 5^6x
By setting the exponents equal to each other:
-21 = 6x
Now, divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:
-21 / 6 = xx = -3.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -3.5.
