Solution

The correct answer is "equal to x".

Here's why:

The rightmost digit of a number (in base 10) is its units digit. When you raise a number to the power of 5, the units digit is always the same as the units digit of the original number.

For example, if n = 2, x = 2, and n^5 = 32. The rightmost digit of n^5 is 2, which is equal to x.

So, the rightmost digit of n^5 is equal to x.
