Solve the following exercise:
81=3x6
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
- Step 1: Simplify the left side of the equation, 81.
- Step 2: Simplify the right side of the equation, 3x6.
- Step 3: Equate the simplified expressions and solve for x.
Now, let's simplify each side:
Step 1: Simplify 81.
First, evaluate 81, which is 9, since 92=81.
Then, evaluate 9, which is 3, since 32=9.
So, 81=3.
Step 2: Simplify 3x6.
Express x6 as (x6)1/2=x6/2=x3.
Express 3x3 as (x3)1/3=x3/3=x1=x.
So, 3x6=x.
Step 3: Set the simplified expressions equal.
We have simplified both sides of the equation to get 3=x.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is x=3.
Hence, the correct answer is x=3.
Therefore, the correct choice is:
Choice 2: x=3.
