What is the missing value in x 1/5 = 6? (1 point)

5 answers

To solve the equation \( x \cdot \frac{1}{5} = 6 \), you need to isolate \( x \).

You can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5:

\[ x \cdot \frac{1}{5} \cdot 5 = 6 \cdot 5 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 30 \]

Therefore, the missing value is \( x = 30 \).

Solve the following equation: 2^(x+2) = 4^2
. What is the missing value?(1 point)

To solve the equation \( 2^{(x+2)} = 4^2 \), we first rewrite \( 4^2 \) in terms of base 2:

\[ 4 = 2^2 \implies 4^2 = (2^2)^2 = 2^{2 \cdot 2} = 2^4 \]

Now, we can set the exponents equal to each other since the bases are the same:

\[ x + 2 = 4 \]

Next, solve for \( x \) by subtracting 2 from both sides:

\[ x = 4 - 2 = 2 \]

Thus, the missing value is \( x = 2 \).

Solve the following equation: 3^(x−2) = 81
. What is the missing value? (1 point)

To solve the equation \( 3^{(x-2)} = 81 \), we first express \( 81 \) as a power of \( 3 \):

\[ 81 = 3^4 \]

Now the equation becomes:

\[ 3^{(x-2)} = 3^4 \]

Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other:

\[ x - 2 = 4 \]

Next, solve for \( x \) by adding 2 to both sides:

\[ x = 4 + 2 = 6 \]

Thus, the missing value is \( x = 6 \).
