http://oi41.tinypic.com/j6ralg.jpg What do I do next? (problem having to do with exponential equations)

OpenStudy (shamim):

i wanna try it

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Multiply the exponents

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then note that if the bases are the same and the expressions are equal, the exponents must be equal. Write and solve the equation that says the exponents are equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj So I get 20x = 3x+12?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. Now solve it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got \[x=\frac{ 12 }{ 17 }\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yep. Good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for the help!
