Answer: x= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics when you have bases that are the same while multiplying you add the powers. In this case we do not have the same bases so we are going to make it look like 8 is 2. So we sort of simplify it. So we get 8 and put into like 2^4. We do not eliminate the power x that was already there though. So we will have 2^4x × 2^4-x. So like I said earlier we add the powers. Soo we will have

4x +4-x
4x-x=1
3x+4-4 =1-4
3x/3 = -3/3
x= -1

Hi there friend, your answer for perimeter is 18.

I’ve included a graph below to help explain why but basically if you count the squares, each side measures 4 1/2 units so if you multiply 4 1/2 units by 4(the number of sides) you get 18.

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.

22.

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.
