solve the equation 2^5n+3 = 8^n+3
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying 2(5n + 3) = 8n + 2(n + 3) Reorder the terms: 2(3 + 5n) = 8n + 2(n + 3) (3 * 2 + 5n * 2) = 8n + 2(n + 3) (6 + 10n) = 8n + 2(n + 3) Reorder the terms: 6 + 10n = 8n + 2(3 + n) 6 + 10n = 8n + (3 * 2 + n * 2) 6 + 10n = 8n + (6 + 2n) Reorder the terms: 6 + 10n = 6 + 8n + 2n Combine like terms: 8n + 2n = 10n 6 + 10n = 6 + 10n Add '-6' to each side of the equation. 6 + -6 + 10n = 6 + -6 + 10n Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0 0 + 10n = 6 + -6 + 10n 10n = 6 + -6 + 10n Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0 10n = 0 + 10n 10n = 10n Add '-10n' to each side of the equation. 10n + -10n = 10n + -10n Combine like terms: 10n + -10n = 0 0 = 10n + -10n Combine like terms: 10n + -10n = 0 0 = 0 Solving 0 = 0 Couldn't find a variable to solve for. This equation is an identity, all
