Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Take you pick below! (either x 8 or x = 7.01, approx, depending how the question is interpreted)
Discussion:
Interpretation 1
If the question is
2^(x -1) = 128, then as 2^7 = 128,
x-1 = 7 so x = 8
Interpretation 2
If the question is (2^x -1) = 128, then..
2^x = 128 + 1 = 129 =>
log(2^x) = log(129) =>
xlog(2) = log(129) =>
x = log (129) / log2 = 7.01

14 x 12 = 168
168 divded by 2.90 = 57.9
1 5/6 because you have to first find half of 3 which is 1 1/2 then you have to find half of 2/3 which is 1/3 then you have to find a common denominator then add. After that simplest form.
