This Question is related to Direct Proportionality

Here : The Number of Miles Driven is Directly Proportional to Number of Gallons of Gas

Number of Miles ∝ Gallons of Gas

Given Keith with 16 Gallons of Gas Drove 436 Miles

⇒ Keith with 1 Gallon of Gas would Drive - $\frac{436}{16}$ Miles

⇒ Keith with 1 Gallon of Gas would Drive : 27.25 Miles

⇒ Keith with 14 Gallons of Gas would Drive : 14 × 27.25 Miles

⇒ Keith with 14 Gallons of Gas would Drive : 381.5 Miles

I suppose you just have to simplify this expression.

(2ˣ⁺² - 2ˣ⁺³) / (2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²)

Divide through every term by the lowest power of 2, which would be x + 1 :

… = (2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺³/2ˣ⁺¹) / (2ˣ⁺¹/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹)

Recall that nª / nᵇ = nª⁻ᵇ, so that we have

… = (2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺³⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾) / (2⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾)

… = (2¹ - 2²) / (2⁰ - 2¹)

… = (2 - 4) / (1 - 2)

… = (-2) / (-1)

… = 2

Another way to get the same result: rewrite every term as a multiple of y = 2ˣ :

… = (2²×2ˣ - 2³×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 2²×2ˣ)

… = (4×2ˣ - 8×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 4×2ˣ)

… = (4y - 8y) / (2y - 4y)

… = (-4y) / (-2y)

… = 2
