Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, the first thing to do is get that 8 away from the fraction. How can we do it? When you have 2³ you have 8, is the same thing, so let's do it:
2³⁰/(2³)⁹ = 2^x
When you have a number with the shape (a^x)^y, you can write it as a^(x•y), so:
(2³)⁹ = 2^3•9 = 2²⁷
Now we have:
2³⁰/2²⁷ = 2^x
When you have a division like this: (a^x)/(a^y), you can write it as a^(x-y), so:
2^(30-27) = 2^x
2^-3 = 2^x
Now you know that x = -3
