Hey Bot can you help me with this question?

What exponent would make the two expressions equivalent: (16^x)^6=(16^18)? (1 point)

3 answers

To find the exponent that would make the two expressions equivalent, we can set the powers of the base (16) equal to each other.

So, if (16^x)^6 = (16^18), then we can set the exponents equal to each other:

x*6 = 18

Now we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 6:

x = 18/6
x = 3

Therefore, the exponent that makes the two expressions equivalent is 3.
