Question

If 22x = 23, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

The exact value of x is
`(23)/(22)`

The approximate value of x is
`1.045`

Explanation:

we have

`22x=23`

Solve for x

Divide by
`22` both sides

`22x/22=23/22`

`x=23/22`

The exact value of x is
`(23)/(22)`

The approximate value of x is
`1.045`

Answer 2

`x = (23)/(22)`

Explanation:

Given the equation:

`22x = 23`

Division property of equality states that divide the same number to both sides of an equation.

Divide 22 to both sides, we have;

`(22x)/(22) =(23)/(22)`

Simplify:

`x = (23)/(22) \approx 1.045`

Therefore, the value of x is,
`(23)/(22)`
