5 * 2^x = 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5 \times 2^{x} =25\]

This is tricky, I suggest that you first get the \(\large 2^x\) alone on one side...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so divide it up???

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yup.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can't**

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Divide both sides by 5 to get...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would the formula look?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Formula? What formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i meant how would it look

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

\[\Large 5\cdot 2^x = 25\]\[\Large \frac{5\cdot 2^x}{5}=\frac{25}{5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2x =5

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

\[\Large 2^x = 5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so does x = 2 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm its 32

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Hardly... x is an exponent, right?
