PSAT Math Grid-Ins Question 4: Answer and Explanation

Question: 4

If 5x2 = 125, what could be the value of 5x3?

Correct Answer: 625

Explanation:

625

The question asks for the value of 5x3. Use the given equation 5x2 = 125 to find the value of x. Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x2 = 25. Take the square root of both sides to get x = 5. Plug x = 5 into 5x3 to get 5(53). This equals 5(125) or 625. The correct answer is 625.
