Question
Solve the following equations for x:$4^{\text{x}-1}\times(0.5)^{3-2\text{x}}=\Big(\frac{1}{8}\Big)^\text{x}$

Answer

We have,$4^{\text{x}-1}\times(0.5)^{3-2\text{x}}=\Big(\frac{1}{8}\Big)^\text{x}$
$2^{2\text{x}-2}\times\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{3-2\text{x}}=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{3\text{x}}$
$2^{2\text{x}-2}\times2^{2\text{x}-3}=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{3​\text{x}​}$
$2^{2\text{x}-2+2\text{x}-3}=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{3\text{x}}$
$2^{4\text{x}-5}=2^{-3\text{x}}$
$4\text{x}-5=-3\text{x}$
$7\text{x}=5$
$\text{x}=\frac{5}{7}$
