How do i solve this exponential equation<br>

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

x = 0 or 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving an exponential equation of this nature with different bases and coefficients is always a bit of an ad hoc affair. Here, we can divide by the right side expression and make a substitution that turns it into a quadratic.

$3\cdot16^x+2\cdot81^x=5\cdot36^x\\\\0.6\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^x+0.4\left(\dfrac{9}{4}\right)^x=1\\\\\textsf{Let $z=\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^x$}\\\\0.6z+\dfrac{0.4}{z}=1\qquad\text{after substitution}\\\\3z^2-5z +2 = 0\qquad\text{multiply by $5z$ and put in standard form}\\\\(3z-2)(z-1)=0\qquad\text{factor}\\\\z=\dfrac{2}{3}\quad\text{or}\quad z=1\\\\x=\dfrac{\log(z)}{\log(4/9)}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}\quad\text{or}\quad 0}$

A graphing calculator often solves these very nicely, especially when the equation is put into the form f(x) = 0.

Bingel [31]

Do a proportion
8/100= x/70
Cross multiply and divide
70 x 8= 560
560 divided by 100= 5.6
Answer is 5.6

You also could have done .08 x 70 which is also 5.6
