Step-by-step explanation:
(2^x+4^x)=72
4 can be written as 2^2
So,(2^x+(2^2)^x)=72
By power rule of exponents,
(2^x+2^2x)=72
Let (2^x) be a
So, (a+a^2)=72
On rearranging it becomes a quadratic equation
a^2+a-72=0
a^2+9a-8a-72=0
a(a+9)-8(a+9)=0
(a-8)(a+9)=0
Therefore,
a-8=0
a=8
Since a=2^x
2^x=8
2^x=2^3
Thus
x=3
(a+9)=0
a=-9
2^x=-9,which is impossible. So we reject this option
So, finally x=3
