Question

HELP ME PLEASE! Part A: If (7^2)x = 1, what is the value of x? Explain your answer. (5 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1/49, x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

part a:

so if (7^2)=49, you are left with 49x=1. we have to use inverse operations to isolate the variable x. this means we have to divide by 49 on both sides since 49 is multiplied with x. so, you are left with 1/49. x=1/49.

part b:

so according to the zero property, if you raise any number to the power of 0, you get 1. therefore, we are left with 1x=1. we can simplify this to x=1, which is the answer!

i think this is what you're asking for, if i misunderstood please comment under my response!
