Q. Solve. Write your answer as an integer or a fraction in simplest form. \newline7x=497^x = 49\newlinex=x = ______
  1. Identify Power of 77: Rewrite 4949 as a power of 77, since 4949 is 77 squared, we can write 4949 as 727^2.
  2. Set Exponents Equal: Now we have 7x=727^x = 7^2. Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other.
  3. Solve for x: So, x=2x = 2.
