Answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

since y = e^x is a function that has unique y-values for any x-value (there are no 2 x-values that have the same y-value), we know that

e^x1 = e^x2 means that

x1 = x2

so, in our case

e^(3x - 2) = e^x

means

3x - 2 = x

we can also apply the logarithm on both sides to prove that

ln(e^(3x - 2)) = ln(e^x)

3x - 2 = x

so, now, we subtract x from both sides

2x - 2 = 0

add 2 to both sides

2x = 2

and divide both sides by 2

x = 1

Hello !

Answer:


\Large \boxed{\sf x=1}

Explanation:

We want to find the value of x that satisfies the following equation :


\sf e^(3x-2)=e^(x)

Let's remember :


  • \sf ln(e^a)=a

Let's apply
\sf ln to both sides of the equality :


\sf ln(e^(3x-2))=ln(e^(x))

With the previous property :


\sf 3x-2=x

Now let's substract x from both sides :


\sf 3x-2-x=x-x\\2x-2=0

Add 2 to both sides :


\sf 2x-2+2=2\\2x=2

Finally, let's divide both sides by 2 :


\sf (2x)/(2) =(2)/(2)\\ \boxed{\sf x=1}

Have a nice day ;)
