If the question is:isisalaska wrote:10 X (multiplied)
(5^11) * (4 ^ 11) = (2 * 10)^n
Then the answer is n=11...
(5^11) * (4 ^ 11) = (2 * 10)^n
= (5 * 4) ^ 11 = (2 * 10)^n
= (20)^11 = (20)^n
i.e. n = 11
If the question is:
(5^11) * (4 ^ 11) = 2 * (10^n)
Then I don't know how to solve this question and will appreciate the answer
