Question

Let x be a positive integer. If (-3)ºx (-3)* = (-3)14, what is x?

Answer 1

Answer:

$-3^{\circ \:}x\left(-3\right)=\left(-3\right)\cdot \:14 : x = \frac{840}{180^{\circ \:}}$

Decimal Form:

$x = -267.38030...$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3^{\circ \:}x\left(-3\right)=\left(-3\right)\cdot \:14$

Remove Parentheses: $(-a) = -a$

$-3^{\circ \:}x\left(-3\right)=-3\cdot \:14$

Multiply the numbers: $3 * 14 = 42$

$-3^{\circ \:}x\left(-3\right)=-42$

Divide both sides by: $-3^{\circ \:}\left(-3\right)$

$\frac{-3^{\circ \:}x\left(-3\right)}{-3^{\circ \:}\left(-3\right)}=\frac{-42}{-3^{\circ \:}\left(-3\right)}$

Simplify:

$x=-\frac{840}{180^{\circ \:}}$

Hope I helped. If so, may I get brainliest and a thanks?

Thank you, have a good day! =)
