Full solution

Q. Solve the exponential equation for x x .\newline563x8=1 56^{3 x-8}=1 \newlinex= x=
  1. Write as power term: Write 11 as a power term with 5656 as the base.\newlineAny natural number raised to the power of 00 is 11.\newlineSo, 1=5601 = 56^0
  2. Set exponent equal to 00: Set the exponent of the base 5656 in the equation equal to 00. Since 563x8=56056^{3x-8} = 56^0, we can equate the exponents because the bases are the same. 3x8=03x - 8 = 0
  3. Solve for x: Solve for x.\newlineAdd 88 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with xx.\newline3x8+8=0+83x - 8 + 8 = 0 + 8\newline3x=83x = 8
  4. Divide by 33: Divide both sides by 33 to solve for xx.x=83x = \frac{8}{3}
