Answer:

x = - 2

Explanation:

Given


2^(x+3) ×
3^(x+4) = 18 = 2 × 9 =
2^(1) × 3²

Then


2^(x+3) =
2^(1)

Since bases on both sides are equal, both 2, then equate exponents

x + 3 = 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 2

Then


2^(-2+3) =
2^(1)

and


3^(-2+4) = 3²

18 = 2 × 3²

Answer:

x=-2

Explanation:


2 {}^(x + 3) * 3 {}^(x + 4 = 18)

Apply the Inverse of the Product of Power Rule

If


x {}^(y) * x {}^(z) = x {}^(y + z)

This means that


{x}^(y + z) = {x}^(y) * {x}^(z)

So in order words,


(2 {}^(x) * 2 {}^(3) ) * (3 {}^(x) * 3 {}^(4) ) = 18


(2 {}^(x) * 8) * (3 {}^(x) * 81) = 18

Divide both sides by 31 and 8.

We get that


2 {}^(x) * {3}^(x) = (1)/(36)


6 {}^(x) = (1)/(36)

Take the log of both sides.


log_(6)( (1)/(36) ) = x


6 {}^( - 2) = (1)/(36)

so


x = - 2
