Answer 3

@thesmartone

Answer 4

Hi! Welcome to OpenStudy! :D
@cruznatalie150

Answer 5

First we need to make the same bases.

Answer 6

Let's make both sides of the equation have a base of 3.

Hint: Make the right side have a base of 3.

Remember this formula:
\(\sf\Large (a^b)^c = a^{bc}\)

Also, to solve for the variables in your question we will use this formula:

\(\sf\Large a^b = a^c \bf{\color{red}{=>}}\Large b = c\)

Answer 7

Another hint: 9 = 3^2

Answer 8

@thesmartone thanks I barely saw your message

Answer 9

So you multiply by 3

Answer 10

@mw3030 how do you know

Answer 11

no, you don't multiply by 3.

Answer 12

ok, let me show you an example :)

Answer 13

\(\sf\Large 4^{x+4} = (4)^{x+4} = (2^2) ^{x+4} = 2^{2(x+4)} =2^{2x+8}\)

Answer 14

but you need to do that for your question :)

Answer 15

Oh ok it's because this question I have never heard or done anything like this before and it was so confusing and it was a oh weird question and I don't know the rules or the formulas or how to solve it that's why I needed your help not really cause of the answer but I just gave you the answer choices because some people be like I want you to wake you know what I mean because you are

Answer 16

@thesmartone

Answer 17

uhhhh ok, but can you do what I did in the example above?

Answer 18

yeah i got it and i did solve it was x

Answer 19

=-1

Answer 20

correct :)

Answer 21
