Question

What is the value of x in the following equation? 11^4x+1= 11^3x-7

Answer 1

x= -8

Explanation:

Answer 2

-8

Explanation:

well since the equation has the same base of 11, you can just solve for x as you normally would. so the question becomes:

4x+1 = 3x -7

subtract one from both sides

4x = 3x - 8

subtract 3x from both sides

x = - 8
