I think you're trying to say 6x^6-4x^5+9x-6. ^ Is a symbol that means the number after it is an exponent.
First step, find the gcf (greatest common factor) between the first two parts. The gcf of 6x^6-4x^5 is 2x^5.
Now take it out. You get
2x^5(3x-2)
If you expand that equation, you will get 6x^6-4x^5 which is why you know it's correct.
Now do the same for the second half.
The gcf for the second two parts is 3.
3(3x-2)
Notice anything? Yep, in both of them, after you take out the gcf, you get (3x-2)
Now, you combine them into one equation
2x^5(3x-2)+3(3x-2)
Then you do this
(2x^5+3)(3x-2)
That's your factored form.

What is the true solution to 3 in 2 + in 8 = 2 in (4x)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
The first step for solving this equation is to determine the defined range.
3㏑(2) + ㏑(8) = 2㏑(4x), x > 0
Write the number 8 in exponential form.
3㏑(2) + ㏑(2³) = 2㏑(4x)
Using ㏑(a^{x}) = x × ㏑(a),, transform the expression.
3㏑(2) + 3㏑(2) = 2㏑(4x)
Now collect the like terms on the left side of the equation.
6㏑(2) = 2㏑(4x)
Switch the sides of the equation.
2㏑(4x) = 6㏑(2)
Using x × ㏑(a) = ㏑(a^{x}),, transform the expression on the left side of the equation.
㏑((4x)²) = 6㏑(2)
Using x × ㏑(a) = ㏑(a^{x}),, transform the expression on the right side of the equation.
㏑((4x)²) = ㏑(2^{6})
Since the bases of the logarithms are the same,, you need to set the arguments equal.
(4x)² = 2^{6}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both the positive and negative roots.
4x = +/- 8
Now separate the equation into 2 possible cases.
4x = 8
4x = -8
Solve the top equation for x.
x = 2
Solve the bottom equation for x.
x = 2
         , x > 0
x = -2
Lastly,, check if the solution is in the defined range to find your final answer.
x = 2
This means that the correct answer to your question is x = 2.
