<span>Rational exponent are exponents written in the form of a fraction.
A rational power can be rewritten as a radical in the following way: the bottom of the rational exponent is the root, while the top of the rational exponent is the new exponent on the radical.
Example: X^(1/2)= </span>√X
2x + -11 = k
Reorder the terms:
-11 + 2x = k
Solving
-11 + 2x = k
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 11 + 2x = 11 + k
Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + 2x = 11 + k
2x = 11 + k
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 5.5 + 0.5k
