Answer: x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying exponents with the same base, you simply keep the base the same and add the powers.
In this case, you need to find a value of x such that when it is divided by 5 and 2–separately–and then added together, it equals 14.
You can do this through trial and error easily and land on the answer of 20.
20 / 5 = 4
20 / 2 = 10
(2^4)(2^10) = 2^14
