Its the Addition Inverse postulate.

I hope this helps :)

the answer is 13

step-by-step explanation:

5*5=25

12*12=144

25+144=169

169^2=13

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
