Solve for x:
Note that we can write 27 as a power of 3, 27 = 3^3, so we have
both exponents are powers of 3, therefore we can write it
2x = 3(x+1)
2x = 3x + 3
-3 - 3x - 2x
-3 = x
:
You can check this on a calc
enter: 3^(2*-3) look at the result
enter: 27(-3+1) see that the result is the same
;

2. Solve for x:
The same situation here; 25 = 5^2 and 125 = 5^3, so we can write it
Both exponents are the power of the same number (5) therefore
2(x-1) = 3x
2x - 2 = 3x
-2 = 3x - 2x
-2 = x
:
Check this on your calc
enter 25^(-2-1)
enter 125^(-2)
:
:
3.Solve for x: 16^x-2=(1/8)^x
we can write both as powers of 2, 2^4 = 16 and recall that 1/8 = 2^-3
=
so we have
4(x-2) = -3x
4x - 8 = -3x
4x + 3x = + 8
7x = +8
x = 8/7
:
Check this
Enter: 16^((8/7)-2)
Enter: (1/8)^(8/7)
