Question
Solve the equation
x=41410
Alternative Form
x≈0.493865
Evaluate
∣82x∣×2x=40
Multiply the terms
2∣82x∣×x=40
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
2×82x×x=40,82x≥02(−82x)x=40,82x<0
Evaluate
More Steps

Evaluate
2×82x×x=40
Calculate
164x×x=40
Expand the expression
164x2=40
Divide both sides
164164x2=16440
Divide the numbers
x2=16440
Cancel out the common factor 4
x2=4110
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±4110
