Solve

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Solve \[8=2~^x+^4\] x = –4 x = –1 x = 0 x = 7

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large \bf 8=2^{x+4}?\)

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Yes. Sorry I didn't know how to do that.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large \bf { 8=2^{x+4}\qquad {\color{brown}{ 2^3=8}}\qquad {\color{brown}{ 2^3}}=2^{x+4}\implies {\color{brown}{ 3}}=x+4 }\)

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Now do we have to isolate the x?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well.. yes

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

x+4=3 x+4-4=3-4 x=-1 So the answer is B?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, the answer is x = -1, yes bear in mind that the choices are there as a guide they must meet your answer, no the other way around

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

now, if there's a choice that has x = -1, then that'd be the proper one
