Find the value of x when : 2^30/8^9=2^x

artcher [175]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, the first thing to do is get that 8 away from the fraction. How can we do it? When you have 2³ you have 8, is the same thing, so let's do it:

2³⁰/(2³)⁹ = 2^x

When you have a number with the shape (a^x)^y, you can write it as a^(x•y), so:

(2³)⁹ = 2^3•9 = 2²⁷

Now we have:

2³⁰/2²⁷ = 2^x

When you have a division like this: (a^x)/(a^y), you can write it as a^(x-y), so:

2^(30-27) = 2^x

2^-3 = 2^x

Now you know that x = -3

Which is longer 2 meters or 200 cent a meters or 2.05 meters

Yuri [45]

Solving this requires use of conversions

we already know that
2.05 m > 2 m

all that's left is the question
200 cm vs. 2.05 meters

I we know our equivalencies, we know that
100 cm = 1 m

if this is so then
200 cm = 2 m

we already know that
2.05 m > 2 m

so it must also be that
2.05 m > 200 cm

$2.05 \: meters$
