Part a: if (26)x = 1, what is the value of x? explain your answer.

part b: if (50)x = 1, what are the possible values of x? explain your answer.

Part A
(26)x = 1
divide both sides by 26
(26)x/26 = 1/26
cancel out the 26 above n below
x = 1/26

Part B
(50)x = 1
divide both sides by 50
(50)x/50 = 1/50
cancel out the 50 above n below
x = 1/50

Not sure why there are other possible value of x...plz double-check ur prob.

Edit: (2^6)x = 1

since 2^6 = 2*2*2*2*2*2 = 64

64x = 1

x = 1/64

(5^0)x = 1

as any number raises to the zero power =1

x = 1

still don't see how there are other possible numbers lol

Part a is 1/26 because multiplying any number by it's reciprocal will give you 1

Part b is 1/50 because multiplying any number by it's reciprocal will give you 1

Use photo math it it’s so good
