Hi everyone,
I'm struggling with one of the awesome flashcards I downloaded here (thanks for those!).
It's called Simplify base (on page 70).
If 27^n = 9^4
Then (3^3)^n = (3^2)^4 => n = 8/3
I understand how to get from the first line to the second part. However, I don't understand how to get from there to n = 8/3. Could anyone help me out with this?
I'm noticing I have problems with these types of problems in general - questions involving powers and simplifying those. Any suggestions on where I might find help with that? (Preferably online, but I'm willing to buy books as well if needed)
Thanks in advance!
