Alright, I just did my Math midterm and I came across this question.
(7/4)^x = 5^(1-x)
I would use Latex, but I find it confusing to use :(.
Anyways, what I ended up doing was using my graphing calculator and putting (7/4)^x in Y1 and 5^(1-x) in Y2. Then I just found where they intersect and obviously that value was X. The problem I'm having was the question stated to do it with algebra, but I don't know how. If someone could be so kind and show me, that would be swell.
EDIT: I put it in this section and not the homework section because it's not really homework; I've already done it, I just want to know how to do it via algebra.
EDIT2: Got it, thanks everyone!
