Solve for X : 22x+1 = 8

Solve for x : 2^2x+1 = 8

Sum

2^2x+1 = 8
⇒ 2^2x+1 = 2³
We know that if bases are equal, the powers are equal
⇒ 2x + 1 = 3
⇒ 2x = 3 - 1
⇒ 2x = 2
⇒ x = `2/2`
⇒ x = 1

Solve : 8 x 2^2x + 4 x 2^{x + 1} = 1 + 2^x

Solve for x : 9^x+2= 720 + 9^x

If 3^{x + 1} = 9^{x - 3}, find the value of 2^{1 + x}.

If 2^x = 4^y = 8^z and `1/(2x) + 1/(4y) + 1/(8z) = 4` , find the value of x.

Evaluate the following:

`(2^3 xx 3^5 xx 24^2)/(12^2 xx 18^3 xx 27)`

Evaluate the following:

`(2^6 xx 5^-4 xx 3^-3 xx 4^2)/(8^3 xx 15^-3 xx 25^-1)`

Solve for x:
1 = p^x

If x = `3^(2/3) + 3^(1/3)`, prove that x³ - 9x - 12 = 0

If `root(x)("a") = root(y)("b") = root(z)("c")` and abc = 1, prove that x + y + z = 0

Find the value of 'a' and 'b' if:

`(sqrt243)^"a" ÷ 3^("b" + 1)` = 1 and `27^"b" - 81^(4 -"a"/2)` = 0
