Solve for x 6^3-x=6^2

Answer:
D x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
6^(3-x)=6^2
Since the bases are the same, the exponents have to be the same
3-x = 2
Subtract 3 from each side
3-x-3 = 2-3
-x = -1
Multiply each side by -1
x = 1
Answer: Option D
[tex]x=1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following exponential equation
[tex]6^{3-x}=6^2[/tex]
We must solve the equation for the variable x
Note that the exponential expressions [tex]6^{3-x}[/tex] and [tex]6 ^ 2[/tex] have the same base: 6
So if [tex]6^{3-x}=6^2[/tex] this means that [tex]3-x = 2[/tex]
Then we have that:
[tex]3-x = 2[/tex]
[tex]x = 3-2\\x=1[/tex]
