Question

Solve:
6^3x-6 = 1
I came up with
6^0(3x-6) =1^0
3x-6 = 1
3x = 7
but I am stuck simplifying it now.

Answer 1

you should have 3x-6 = 0 instead of 3x-6 = 1

Answer 2

But my calc. says 1^0 is 1. ?

Answer 3

yes, but the exponent is what matters


the right side 1 is really 6^0


so because the bases are equal, the exponents 3x-6 and 0 are equal

Answer 4

ooh I think I see what you mean. Thanks!
