5/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[8^{x-1}=4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you explain how please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it really 5/3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To solve this, use logs, since the variable is an exponent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it was \[2^{3x+3} = 2^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't it just \[\frac{ 1 }{ 8x } = 4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have the answers and 5/3 is right. i just don't know how to get there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we dont need log just convert the bases to 2 same as tianz done

OpenStudy (anonymous):
