3^4x2=27^x-1

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Do you want us to graph it or solve for a solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve please

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Let me get a pen and paper. No one snipe me, please.

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Is this the correct equation? \[3^2 * 2 = 27^2 -1\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\huge 3^{4x^2} = 27^{x-1}?\] is that it? im not sniping dont worry lol

OpenStudy (compassionate):

It's fine, lgb, I'm just trying to figure out what he's asking.

OpenStudy (compassionate):

He doesn't use the correct form when righting equations so it's hard to decipher.

OpenStudy (compassionate):

*Writing.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

this is interesting :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lgb has the correct question, so letting go of the bases it becomes \[4x ^{2} = 3\left( x-1 \right)\]

OpenStudy (compassionate):

x = 0.11.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

I did the division on a calculator and not in fraction form.

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Want me to show steps?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

4x^2 = 3x - 3 4x^2 - 3x + 3 = 0 should be a quadratic formula

OpenStudy (compassionate):

I didn't use the quadratic formula. Can you please explain, lgb?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is x=1. (3^3)^(x-1) 4x^2=3^(3x-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm a girl by the way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I disagree with you jesana, that equation cannot be defined as it is, and therefore has no roots for x, it is prime.
