Hi venkat Thank you and I wish you the best of luck as well! The Quant learning tool that I used from https://targettestprep.com/ was definitely helpful for my Quant, which was always my weak point. There is so much information on the site so it is impossible to get through it all in just 1 or 2 mon...

Scored 700 in just one month
My GMAT journey has been an intense one month ride. This year I decided to apply for my MBA. I made a miscalculation regarding the GMAT and thought I would not need much time to study. I was always the type of person that did not have to study hard in school. Once I took a practice exam and spoke to...

Thanks Mitch, plugging in seems to the the simplest form of solving.
Thanks Brent, this is making more sense now.
So, just to be clear, when you factor 5^(x-3) out of 5^x, you get 5^3 because a) the x is pulled out and b) you need to add three in order to take out -3?

Hi Brent,
Thank you, but I'm still not totally getting it. If you are factoring out 5^(x-3), then how did you get 5^(x-3)(5^3 - 1) . I.e., how does 5^x factored by 5^(x-3) become 5^3?
Also, how are you able to divide each side by 124 when it's only on right side of equation?
Thank you.
