Answer: 23,24,25

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously the numbers are about 72÷3 = 24 so see if 23,24,25 works. It does. No need to solve

(i-1) + (i) + (i+i) = 72, 3i=72, i=24.

1/16^3x=64^2(x+8)<br> Solve for x.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

16 = 4*4 = 4²

64 = 4 * 4* 4 = 4³

$(\dfrac{1}{16})^{3x}=64^{2*(x+8)}\\\\\\(16^{-1})^{3x}=64^{2x + 16}\\\\\\16^{-3x}=64^{2x +16}\\\\(4^{2})^{-3x}=(4^{3})^{2x+16}\\\\4^{-6x}=4^{6x +48}$

As bases are same, compare exponents

6x + 48 = -6x

Subtract 48 from both sides

6x = -6x - 48

Add '6x' to both sides

6x + 6x = -48

12x = -48

Divide both sides by 12

x = -48/12

x = -4
