Question

Solve for the variable.

Answer 1

x=8 to the power of 9 or 8^9

Explanation:

when you are multiplying the numbers with powers you need to add the powers and when dividing, you should take our powers by subtraction.

That is the rule you must always remember:

multiply--add

divide--subtract

Answer 2

x=9

Explanation:

Divide each side by 8^2

When you divide two numbers when they have the same base, you can subtract them.

So 8^x=8^9

so x=9
