Express with Same Base: To solve for a, we need to express both sides of the equation with the same base and then equate the exponents.We have 2a=(25)71.
Equate Exponents: Since the bases are the same (base 2), we can equate the exponents. a=5×(71)
Perform Multiplication: Now, we perform the multiplication to find the value of a.a=75
