Answer:
Dividing a power of 4 by 4 is equivalent to ( reducing,) the exponent by (1).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the power of 4 be 3
4 *4*4
We divide by 4
4*4*4/4 = 4*4 = 4^2
So we removed 1 power
Notice that 3-1 =2
Let 4 be raised to any power
4^a
We divide by 4
4^a/4 we remove 1 of the powers
we are left with
4^(a-1)
So we reduce the exponent by 1
The number = 7
(2x-5)4=36
2x-5=9 <----- divide by 4
2x=14 <----- add 5
x=7 <----- divide by 2
Answer:
3/7 x +5=8
move 5 to the other side
3/7 x= 8-5
3/7 x= 3
then move 7 to the other side it's sign is ÷ it will be ×
then 3x=3×7
3x=21
then move 3to the other side it's sign is × it will become ÷
x= 21/3
x= 7
