Question
Simplify using the laws of exponents: Find x so that 
Hint:
In Mathematics, lets say, "a" represents a number and " n " is the number of times that number is to be multiplied with itself, in order to get a desired result. Then, such result can be written as an, where a is called the base and n is its power/ exponent. 
n times.
2 Law of exponents that is to be applied in this sum is-
The correct answer is: 2
Step-by-step solution:-
2x-1=3………………………………( Powers of the same bases are equal)
2x=3+1

A poster has an area of 432 square inches. The length , in inches, of the poster is 6 inches longer than the width of the poster. Which of the following equations can be solved to determine the length, in inches, of the poster?
Note:
The question can be further extended and ask us to find the length, breadth, or the perimeter of the poster. In that case, first we would solve the above equation to find the length of the poster and then use it to find the breadth. Finally we can find the perimeter easily by using the formula: perimeter 
(length + breadth).
