Q. Find the positive solution of the equation.6x76+23=24599Answer:
Isolate variable term: First, we need to isolate the term with the variable x on one side of the equation. To do this, we subtract 23 from both sides of the equation.6x(6/7)+23−23=24599−23
Simplify right side: Now, we simplify the right side of the equation by performing the subtraction.6x76=24599−236x76=24576
Divide by 6: Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x(6/7). 66x(6/7)=624576x(6/7)=4096
Recognize power of 2: We recognize that 4096 is a power of 2. Specifically, 4096 is 2 raised to the 12th power (212).x76=212
Raise to reciprocal power: To solve for x, we need to raise both sides of the equation to the reciprocal of 76, which is 67.(x76)67=(212)67
Multiply exponents: When we raise a power to a power, we multiply the exponents. On the left side, (76)×(67) equals 1, so we are left with x. On the right side, we multiply the exponents 12 and (67).x=212×67
Simplify exponent: Now we simplify the exponent on the right side by multiplying 12 and (7/6). x=284/6x=214
Calculate final value: Finally, we calculate 214 to find the value of x.x=16384
