Answer:
so it can have a better balence
Step-by-step explanation:
If you move the decimal from left to right, then you make it either a whole number or a percentage.
14^(7x) = 17^(-8-x)
Take the log of both sides:
7x*log 14 = -(8+x)*log 17, or 7x^log 14 = -8*log 17 - x*log 17.
Grouping the x terms, we get x(7*log 14 + log 17)= -8*log 17
Then:
-8*log 17
x= -------------------------- (answer)
7*log 14 + log 17
Since it says ''times'', you have to change the mixed numbers into fractions which will turn the equation into 10/3 x 13/5 which = 130/15. When you turn that into a mixed number, it changes into 8 10/15 or 8 2/3.
ANSWER: 8 2/3
8.2*10^-5 can be also written as 0.000082, in standard notation.
Hope this helps.
