Change this math equation to be true...?

Question

52 = 32

Here are the rules:
You can move any number once to anywhere in the equatio, for example 2 = 532
You can add any mathmatical operation to make it true, for example 5+2 = 32
You cannot remove a number from the equation (so it can't be 5 = 2+3)
The answer is not 52 does not equal 32

First correct answer gets the 10 points.

52=32
5-2^0=3+2^0
5 minus 2 to the 0 power equals 3 plus two to the 0
anything to the 0 power equals 1, so in the end it is
5-1=3+1
or
4=4
tricky is it not?

another way to do it is to incorporate the property of "i" or radical negative one

i(i)+5=[2(reciprocate)]-3+2
-1+5=(2[1/2)]-3+2
or
-4=1-5
which is
-4=-4

these are true equations because "i" is a mathematical operation, as is the 0 power

isolate the x words via bringing the 12x from the left to the main suitable. once you are trying this, it turns right into a -12x. once you upload the 11x and the -12x you get -x. as a result -x = -6 or x = 6 checking: replace 6 for x and consider equality: 12(6)-6 = 11*6 72-6 = sixty six sixty six = sixty six as a result ok
