Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we begin, we must first remember that to solve for x, we have to get the variable (x) by itself.

To start, you would first subtract 12 from the left and right side of the equation.

3x + 12 - (12) = 90 - (12)

The 12 would cancel out on the left side (12 - 12 = 0) and you would now be left with 3x = 78.

Next, you would divide the left and ride side by 3.

3x ÷ 3 = 78 ÷ 3

This gives you the answer of 1x = 26 or x = 26

So to solve for the value of a variable in an equation, you would need to isolate x on one side. The first thing you have to do is multiply 2 and (x + 7) together, which can be rewritten as 2(x) + 2(7). After multiplying, your equation would be: $2x+14+3x=12$ , or A.

So the rule with multiplying exponents with the same base is to add the exponents together, and the rule with dividing exponents with the same base is to subtract the exponents. Your equation will be simplified as such:

$4^{(3+4)-9}\\ 4^{7-9}\\ 4^{-2}$

Now the rule with converting negative exponents into fractions is $x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}$ . In this case, 4^-2 would turn into $\frac{1}{4^2}$ , or C, which is your final answer.
