Math Problem Statement
What is X=?
Solve (√6)^(2x) = (√6)^(x+6).
Solution
To solve the equation:
First, let's express the radicals as exponents:
The equation then becomes:
Using the power rule , we can simplify both sides:
Since the bases are the same (both are powers of 6), we can set the exponents equal to each other:
Now, solve for by cross-multiplying:
Thus, .
