Answer 1

is it \(3^x=5x\) really?

Answer 2

i would perhaps graph of use wolfram
you are not going to solve this one with algebra

Answer 3

yeah, its on my worksheet. and im in algebra 1..

Answer 4

it really says solve three to the power of x equals five times x ???

Answer 5

yep, and theres nothing to plug in for x.

Answer 6

not maybe \(x^3=5x\)?

Answer 7

can you attach it in some way, because there is no algebra to do this one

Answer 8

promise. I'm looking at it right now.

Answer 9

I can't. I guess I;ll just ask in class tomorrow...haha.

Answer 10

i believe you
i am not sure what you are supposed to do exactly to solve this

Answer 11

x^2 * x = 5x
x^2 = 5

so, what are the 3 possible values of x....

Answer 12

@jon.stromer.galley it is not \(x^3\) it is \(3^x\) that is way different

Answer 13

you can check an answer here by clicking on "approximate form" but how to get it i would have no idea

Answer 14

oops, sorry I mis-read it. Yes 3^x is a whole different ball of wax

Answer 15

and if there is an algebra one way to solve this, i will eat my bicycle
i wonder what the teacher will say...

Answer 16

hahaha. thank y'all for trying to help. If I remember, I will log back on and tell you what she says.

If that x was away from the 5, it would be much easier.
