Full solution

Q. Solve. Write your answer as an integer or a fraction in simplest form. \newline7x=17^x = 1\newlinex=x = ______
  1. Rewrite as 707^0: Rewrite 11 as 707^0 because any number to the power of 00 is 11.
  2. Set equation 7x=707^x = 7^0: Set the equation 7x=707^x = 7^0 since 7x=17^x = 1 and 1=701 = 7^0.
  3. Determine x=0x = 0: Since the bases are the same, the exponents must be equal. So, x=0x = 0.
