Answer:
a. 4x = x × 4 while x⁴ = x × x × x × x
b. when x = 2, 4x = 8 and x⁴ = 16
Explanation:
i calculated the answers for b based on the equations in a by substituting 2 into x! hope this helps and you can comment if you need any clarification :D
This is geometric with a common ratio of 3 (3/1 = 3 and 9/3 = 3 etc)
the formula for the nth term is
an = 3^(n-1)
7−4x+3=x−16−3x
Simplify
7−4x+3=x−16−3x
7+−4x+3=x+−16+−3x
(−4x)+(7+3)=(x+−3x)+(−16)(Combine Like Terms)
−4x+10=−2x+−16
−4x+10=−2x−16
Add 2x to both sides.
−4x+10+2x=−2x−16+2x
−2x+10=−16
Subtract 10 from both sides.
−2x+10−10=−16−10
−2x=−26
Divide both sides by -2.
−2x/−2=−26/−2
x=13
