Question

Solve for x???????????

Answer 1

`x=3/2=1.5`

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`49=7^(2x-1)`

Note that 49 is the same as 7 squared. Thus:

`(7)^2=(7)^(2x-1)`

Since they now have the same base, the exponents must be equal to each other. So:

`2=2x-1`

Add 1 to both sides:

`3=2x`

Divide both sides by 2:

`x=3/2=1.5`

And we're done!
