① | Step 1: Write $ 25 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 25 \cdot \frac{x^5}{5} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{25}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x^5}{5} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 25 \cdot x^5 }{ 1 \cdot 5 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 25x^5 }{ 5 } \end{aligned} $$ |
