Answer:

The value of x is -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

[tex](1/5)^x=5^8[/tex]

The above equation can be written as:

[tex](5)^-x=5^8[/tex]

As we can see the base are equal, therefore the value of exponent must be equal.

Therefore,

[tex]-x=8[/tex]

[tex]x=-8[/tex]

Hence the value of x is -8.
