Question

Find the missing value for x^?/x^7=x^12

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{x^?}{x^7} = x^{12} \), we can use the properties of exponents.

First, we can rewrite the left-hand side of the equation:

\[
\frac{x^?}{x^7} = x^{? - 7}
\]

Now, we can set the exponents equal to each other since both sides of the equation have the base \( x \):

\[
? - 7 = 12
\]

To find the value of \( ? \), we can add 7 to both sides:

\[
? = 12 + 7
\]

\[
? = 19
\]

Thus, the missing value for \( x^? \) is:

\[
\boxed{19}
\]
