1/3=3^2x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 3^(2x+2) or 3^(2x) + 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3^(2x+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A third is 3^-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I feel as though it is more involved than that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same base on both sides so the exponents must be equal -1 = ...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But, 1/3 is not the same base as 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3^{-1} =3^{2x+2} \] so -1 =......?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 = 3^-1 !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

estudier showed you that it is the same base actually.... and you agreed, so you're trapped! (you have no one to blame but yourself however)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, if we raise 1/3 to the power of -1, we get 3, right? (Thus, making the bases equal?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 is the same as 3^-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I see what you were saying, estudier! I thought that was your final answer!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2=x YAY!
