Can somebody help my poor little soul?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2^{2n}+2^{2n}+2^{2n}+2^{2n}=4^{24}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't it be (2^2)24 and then you multiply 2 to 24?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

\[\large \bf 2^{2(n)}+2^{2(n)}+2^{2(n)}+2^{2(n)}=4^{24}\] \[\large \bf 4^n+4^n+4^n+4^n=4^{24}\] Since,their bases are same,so we are required to equal the powers of base, \[\large \bf n+n+n+n=24\] \[\large \bf 4n=24\] \[\large \bf n=\frac{24}{4}=6=\color{red}{Answer}\]

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

hope you understand. @yomamabf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dude.... it says the answer is 23 tho....

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

oh!! Ghosh.....sorry :(...

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

i got the answer :- Sorry,i made a little mistake

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

See :- \[\large \bf 4^n+4^n+4^n+4^n=4^{24}\] \[\large \bf 4(4^n)=4^{24}\] \[\large \bf 4^n=\frac{4^{24}}{4}=4^{23}\] So, n=23

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

really very very sorry :(... @yomamabf

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

so understood ?? @yomamabf

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

is your POOR LITTLE SOUL satisfy ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm trying to understand what you did. So you don't break it down to 2?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

\[\large \bf 2^{2n}=2^{2(n)}=4^n\] I use this ^^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you do it the complicated way but okay thanks anyway

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

welcome :)

Another way to look at this ... $$ \large{ 4^{24}=(2\times 2)^{24}}=(2^2)^{24}=2^{2\times 24}\\ $$ Also, $$ \large{ 2^{2n}+2^{2n}+2^{2n}+2^{2n}=4\times 2^{2n}=2^2\times2^{2n}=2^{2 + 2n} } $$ This means that $$ \large{ 2^{2\times 24}=2^{2+ 2n}\\ \implies 2\times24=2+2n\\ \implies 48-2=2n\\ \implies \cfrac{46}{2}=n\implies n=23 } $$ Hope this helps :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\large{ 4^{24}=(2\times 2)^{24}}=(2^2)^{24}=2^{2\times 24}\\ $$ Also, $$ \large{ 2^{2n}+2^{2n}+2^{2n}+2^{2n}=4\times 2^{2n}=2^2\times2^{2n}=2^{2 + 2n} } $$ This means that $$ \large{ 2^{2\times 24}=2^{2+ 2n}\\ \implies 2\times24=2+2n\\ \implies 48-2=2n\\ \implies \cfrac{46}{2}=n\implies n=23
