Q:

To solve 49^3x = 343^2x+1, write each side of the equation in terms of base ____

Accepted Solution

A:
Create equivalent expressions in the equation that all have equal bases.72(3x)=73(2x+1)72(3x)=73(2x+1)Since the bases are the same, then two expressions are only equal if the exponents are also equal.2(3x)=3(2x+1)
