Question

solve the following 2^2x+1 -5(2x) -12 = 0

Answer 1

Answer:

2^2x+1 -5(2x) -12 = 0

x = 1/6 = 0.167

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  PEMDAS -

((22 • x) +  1) -  10x  = 0

2) Combine like terms -  

1 - 6x  = 0

3) Flip the numbers o make it easier-  

-6x+1 = 0

4) Subtract 1 from both sides-  

-6x = -1

5) Divide the negative from both sides and then divide 6 to get the variable by itself -

6x = 1

 x = 1/6 = 0.167
