\[3/2x+7/2=2x\] Sorry i messed up
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
how do you do these equations in class, what methods do you use may I know?

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{3}{2x}+7=2x }\)
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
is my interpretation correct?

It's \[3/2x+7/2=2^x\]

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{3}{2x} + \frac{7}{2}=2x }\) like this?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
you don't mean the x in the exponent, do you ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x is the exponent after the equal sign

Yep
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
I don't think there is an elementary way to solve this.
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
You can plug in your options to check it.... or graph the function on a graphing calculator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok, i'll try that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it was x=3
