pls step by steps solution
Re: Solve This Problem & Be Hired as Consultant by Nobody: 3:09pm On Oct 06, 2015
are you saying (2^2x) =8x
Re: Solve This Problem & Be Hired as Consultant by chipretty48(f): 3:22pm On Oct 06, 2015
2^2x=8 2^2x=2x2x2 2^2x=2^3 when u cancel both 2 in the bracket, you have: 2x=3 divide both sides by 2 2x/2=3/2 x=3/2

//ans.ComingSoon = true;
//wait++;


**modified***

since 2^2x = 8x

let x = 2.

2^(2*2) = 8*2.

2 ^ 4 = 16. ;which is true.
simple as abc.

Guy recheck ur question... I think this question is wrong.
2^2x=8x ---> Wrong
2^2x=8---> Right
Solution
2^2x=2^3
2x=3
x= 3/2

No, that's not how to do it.

2x = 8x
(2^3)x = 8x
Thus,
(2*2*2)x = 8x solved

Read the question again...I may be wrong!
But you gave a wrong question if what I'm thinking now is correct...it should become a polynomial.. but there's no way that's gonna run!

Or it could be
2^2x = 8x;
2^2x = (2^3)x:
(2^2x)/(2^3) = x;
2^(2x - 3) = x;

...can't go futher o, idea is needed

Re: Solve This Problem & Be Hired as Consultant by flossy007: 4:11pm On Oct 06, 2015
2^ 2x = 8x

Log100 ^2x = 8x ( log to base 10)

100^2x = 10^8x

(10^2) ^ 2x = 10^8x

(2x)^2 = 8x

4x^2 = 8x

X^2 = 2x

X = 2

Hope I got it smiley

see d 2, see d x and see d 8 now. they are mathematical expressions and my statement is "lazical" expression.




zooming...
Re: Solve This Problem & Be Hired as Consultant by engrrichie92(m): 4:16pm On Oct 06, 2015
2^2x = 8x

Introducing log to both sides

log2^2x = log8x

log2^2x = log 8 + logx

2xlog2 = log 8 + logx

Na so i hang o...im coming back with the solution, gimme ten mins

Gurus in the house, the question is correct. Sure d solution is 2. But convincing steps to the solution is what is required. Mathematician goodluck.

2x^2=8x
soln
divide thru by x
2x^2/x=8x/x
therefore, 2x=8
x=4ans

Haha. Not convincing? I'm pretty sure that's the solution to that question. But i'll let others have a go at it.

2^ 2x = 8x

Log100 ^2x = 8x ( log to base 10) step correct

100^2x = 10^8x step correct

(10^2) ^ 2x = 10^8x step correct

(2x)^2 = 8x step not correct ( here u are to equate powers to have 4x equals 8x)


4x^2 = 8x

X^2 = 2x

X = 2

Hope I got it smiley
But u tried sha! But not convincing. Idea my guy. 50% 4 u.
