Questions: 1. What did you do to the numerators? What did you do too to the denominators?
2. Did you find like terms among the collected terms of the numerator? What did you do
to terms?
3. What factoring techniques did you apply?
4. How did you simplify your sum?

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

2  

x

=240

=48
