\[544_x=\]

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

but nothing on the other side of the equal sign

Answer 5

if 544x = 425 eight ( little like the x) find the base of x

Answer 7

dang can't get it to copy over

Answer 8

\[544_x=425_8\] doesn't make any sense unfortunately

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

she wants me to find the base of x and i dont know how

Answer 11

oh perhaps \(425_8\) means \(425\) written in base \(8\)
could that be it?

Answer 12

i dont know that is what I am trying to figure out

Answer 13

that is the only think i can think of that makes sense
are you doing something with writing numbers in bases other than ten?

Answer 14

yeah that must be it, can't be anything else

Answer 15

it has to be a base smaller than 8, i bet it is 7
try that

Answer 16

nope

Answer 17

the chapter is about Arithmetic in Different Bases

Answer 18

yeah, like i said right? writing numbers in bases other than ten

Answer 19

try writing \(425_8\) as a regular number in base ten
then convert that to base 7 and you will see that it is the thing you want

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

i am lost, I dont know how to do these at all
