To find the exponent that would make the two expressions equivalent, we must equate the exponents on both sides of the equation.
(16^x)^6 = (16^18)
Since the base on both sides is 16, we can equate the exponents:
6x = 18
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 6:
x = 3
Therefore, the exponent that would make the two expressions equivalent is x = 3.
WHAT EXPONENT WOULD MAKE THE TWO EXPRESSIONS EQUIVALENT: (16^x)^6 = (16^18)?
