Given that: 2^(3x-5) =
1/2^(2x-10)
We will
re-wrtie.
We know from exponent properties that 1/x^a =
x^-a.
==> 1/2^(2x-10) =
2^-(2x-10).
Then, we will
substitute.
==> 2^(3x-5) =
2^-(2x-10)
Now that we have the bases are equal, then the
powers must be equal too.
Then, we conclude that 3x-5 =
-(2x-10)
Let us solve the
equality.
==> 3x - 5 = -2x +
10
We will add 2x to both
sides.
==> 2x+3x - 5 = 2x-2x +
10
==> 5x - 5 = 10
Now
we will add 5 to both sides.
==> 5x - 5 +5 = 10 +
5
==> 5x = 15.
Now we
will divide by 5.
=> x = 15/5 =
3
Then the answer is x =
3
