2^(16x)=16^(2x)
16=2⁴
2^(16x)=(2⁴)^(2x)
2^(16x)=2^(4*2x)
2^(16x)=2^(8x)
Therefore:
if a^n=a^m ⇒n=m
16x=8x
16x-8x=0
8x=0
x=0/8=0
Answer: x=0
Divide 1 by 20.
1÷20= 0.05
so 1/20 written as a decimal is 0.05
I think that the answer is -1/6. I got this by subtracting 3 on both sides according to the order of operations and got -1. Next, I divided 6 on both sides to undo the multiplication. Since you can't do 1 divided by 6, you can leave it as a fraction which is -1/6.
