Question 151581: Could you please help me solve this equation for the ordered pair? I can come up with the first part of the answer, but he second part of the pair I can't get.
y=2^(5x+1)
y=4^(-x): Could you please help me solve this equation for the ordered pair? I can come up with the first part of the answer, but he second part of the pair I can't get.
y=2^(5x+1)
y=4^(-x)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=2^(5x+1)
y=4^(-x)
2^(5X+1) = 4^(-x)
2^(5x+1) = (2^2)^(-x)
2^(5x+1) = 2^(-2x)
(5x+1) = -2x
7x = -1
x = -1/7
Plug in and verify
