Question

What exponent would make the two expressions equivalent:
(16 to the power of x) to the power of 6 = (16 to the power of 18)

Answer 1

To find the exponent that would make the two expressions equivalent, we need to set the exponents equal to each other:

(x * 6) = 18

Simplifying the equation, we have:

6x = 18

Dividing both sides by 6:

x = 3

Therefore, an exponent of 3 would make the two expressions equivalent.
