Q. Solve. Write your answer as an integer or a fraction in simplest form. \newline16=2x16 = 2^x \newlinex=x = ______
  1. Rewrite as Power of 22: Rewrite 1616 as a power of 22. 1616 is 22 raised to the power of 44, because 2×2×2×22 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 equals 1616. So, 16=2416 = 2^4.
  2. Set Exponents Equal: Set the exponents equal to each other since the bases are the same.\newline2x=242^x = 2^4\newlineTherefore, x=4x = 4.
