Question

Solve for the following equation step by step and justify your steps when using an exponential property.

Answer 1

(7^x)^4 is equal to 7^(4x).

7^2 * 7^3 is equal to 7^(2+3) which is equal to 7^5.

7^5 / 7^(3x) is equal to 7^(5 - 3x).

you wind up with 7^(4x) is equal to 7^(5 - 3x)

this is true if and only if 4x = 5 - 3x.
