Solve this equation : show all of your work, ! : )

Hey there!

To start, when you have exponents with the same base, you can combine the powers. In the case of , you can combine the two exponents by subtracting the powers from one another while keeping the base the same since you have a fraction.

This should result in this new equation:
=

Because the bases of the two numbers are the same, you can set up this expression to solve for the value of x:
7-x=22
-x=15
x=-15

Therefore, your final answer would be x=-15.

Hope this helps and have a marvelous day!

You need to know some basic rules about exponents before you can attempt to solve your question.





Knowing that, you'll see that your question is actually pretty simple.


x = -15
