Question in picture below, been stuck for days, no calculator I could find would answer this not even math way

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!! `

OpenStudy (misty1212):

really days? how many?

OpenStudy (bobobox):

OpenStudy (bobobox):

3

OpenStudy (bobobox):

days

OpenStudy (freckles):

you can plug in and see which works

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you have only a few choices so it should take 4 minutes, one minute to check each choice

OpenStudy (bobobox):

yeah not for everyone

OpenStudy (misty1212):

if \(x=1\) you get \[\frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{2}=2^1\\ \frac{10}{2}=2\\ 5=2\] nope not that one

OpenStudy (bobobox):

umokay

OpenStudy (misty1212):

now try it with 2 and see if \[\frac{3}{2}\times 2+\frac{7}{2}=2^2\]

OpenStudy (bobobox):

...

OpenStudy (freckles):

she wants you to check to see if both sides are the same or not

OpenStudy (freckles):

is 6/2+7/2 equal to 4?

OpenStudy (freckles):

we didn't have to check 2 because it wasn't a choice but we are picking it as an example so you can try some of the choices yourself

OpenStudy (freckles):

you want to replace x in the equations given and which ever x gives you the same thing on both sides is the solution
