I first did this: 16^X / 16^5 = 32^1/3X x 32^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then: 16^X / 32^1/3X = 16^5 + (16^2 x 4)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use the asterisk for multiply, *
\n" ); document.write( "Everyone does.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "16^x/16^5 = 32^(x/3)*32^2
\n" ); document.write( "16^(x-5) = 32^(x/3 + 2)
\n" ); document.write( "Change bases to 2, since 16 = 2^4 and 32 = 2^5
\n" ); document.write( "2^(4x-20) = 2^(5x/3 + 10)
\n" ); document.write( "4x-20 = (5/3)x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "(7/3)x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = 90/7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
