need help with a question please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(1/16^{x4}+8/9^{x3}+1/8^{x2}+2)=(-9/16^{x4}+7/8^{x2}-2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1/16x ^{4} + 9/16x ^{4} + 8/9 ^{3} + 1/8^{2} - 7/8^{2} + 2 + 2\] I moved over pieces of the equation from one side to the other, you can do this because they are separated by an equal sign Now perform the necessary calculations on the "LIKE" pieces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its like combining like terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ick really?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you have to combine like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the first term \[\frac{1}{16^{4x}}\] or maybe \[\frac{1}{16^{x^4}}\] or even \[\frac{1}{16x^4}\] it is not clear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will make a guess and say it is the second one. so you get \[\frac{10}{16^{x^4}}+\frac{8}{9^{x^3}}+\frac{8}{8^{x^2}}+4=0\]

Good catch satellite, she'll need to clairify
