Solve each exponential equation in exercises 1-22 by expressing each side as a power of the same base and then equating exponents.
Need help with #6 step by step.
Explanation / Answer
32x+1 = 27;
27 can be written as a power of 3 as 33 since 3*3*3=27;
hence
32x+1 = 33
since the bases are equal, let's equate the powers;
2x+1 = 3
2x= 3-1
2x=2
x=2/2=1
Hence if 32x+1 = 27 then x=1;
