5(2)^x=40 what is the value of x

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2)^x=40

Divide each side by 5

5 /5 *(2)^x=40/5

2^x = 8

Rewriting 8 as 2^3

2^x = 2^3

The bases are the same so the exponents are the same

x=3

They give us the length of side of the square which is 3-7x.

To get an expression for the perimeter that is expressed as a product we have to multiply the expression 3-7x by four since every square has four sides. This will give us an expression of 4(3-7x). We than can use the distributive property to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by 4. This will give us an expression of 12-28x.
