If 5^3b-1 = 5^b-3 what is the value of b?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tanzania [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  b = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation is ...

  (5^3)b -1 = 5^b -3

This is a mix of exponential and linear terms, and cannot be solved algebraically.

___

We suspect you might mean ...

  5^(3b -1) = 5^(b -3)

We can equate the exponents to find a value for b:

  3b -1 = b -3

  2b = -2 . . . . add 1-b to both sides

  b = -1 . . . . . . divide by 2

-6x-4+5x=4<br> What is "x". Please show your work.
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

first thing to do is combine like terms

now you would have -x-4=4

this is because you added -6x+5x

now you would add 4 to each side

now you would have-x=8

then you would divide the negative because x has to be positive

now you would have x= -8

that is your answer. if you any questions just ask :D
