Question

Solve the exponential equation.

23x = 4x-1

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1/19

Step-by-step explanation:

23x=4x+1

We move all terms to the left:

23x-(4x+1)=0

We get rid of parentheses

23x-4x-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

19x-1=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

19x=1

x=1/19

x=1/19

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

23x = 4x -1  

Subtract 4x form both sides

23x - 4x = 4x - 1 -4x

19x = -1

Divide both sides by 19

19x/19 = -1/19

x = -1/19
