expressions on both sides. When the bases are the same, or the exponents are the same, you can just compare the parts that are different. Look at these examples. Solve 32x + 5 = 33x – 2.
First you need to find the percent equivalent to that of the ratio. The ratio is 3:5. From there you would take the 3, and divide it by 5. 3/5=0.6. Apply that to the information that you are given: 8(0.6)=4.8.
