Does anyone actually help on here? if not ill go away.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

people help, but there are no paid helpers, keep that in mind please

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you won't get your question answered right away sometimes, but people do answer questions

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what's your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thank you.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

np, i understand it's probably frustrating, but we can only do so much

(2/3)^x=(9/4)^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

9/4 = (4/9)^(-1) 9/4 = (2^2/3^2)^(-1) 9/4 = ((2/3)^2)^(-1) 9/4 = (2/3)^(-2)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So (2/3)^x=(9/4)^3 turns into (2/3)^x=((2/3)^(-2))^3 (2/3)^x=(2/3)^(-2*3) (2/3)^x=(2/3)^(-6) the bases are equal, so the exponents must be equal, which means x = -6

oh dang, thank you so much!!!
