Question

If 24 × 42 =16x, then find the value of x.

Answer in Brief

Solution

We have to find the value of x provided  `2 ^4xx 4^2 = 16^x`

So,

 `2 ^4xx 4^2 = 16^x`

 `2 ^4xx 2^4 = 2^(4_x)`

 `2 ^(4+4) = 2^(4_x)`

By equating the exponents we get

4 + 4 +  = 4x

8 = 4x 

`8/4 = x `

2=x

Hence the value of x is 2 .
