The answer would be A.) 1
To find this answer you solve for x. Subtract 3/2 from both sides. This will give you 1/2x = 1/2^x. Then, divide by 1/2 on both sides to get x = 1.
To check this fill in x with 1. Then solve.
- 1/2 * 1/1 + 3/2 = 2^1
- 1/2 + 3/2 = 2
- 4/2 = 2
- 2 = 2
Thus making 1 the answer. Here's an image to show how I got this. I hope this helps!
