()simplify 2 with an exponent of 5 over 3 with an exponent of 2 and the equation has an exponent of 4 a. 2 with an exponent of 20 over 3 with an exponent of 8 b. 2 with n exponent of 9 over 3 with an exponent of 8 c. 8 with an exponent of 5 over 12 with an exponent of 8 d. 2 over 3 with an exponent of 2

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
