Graph y = 2x and y= 2^x
What x-values are solutions to the system?

maya’s expression will generate the wrong sum because she violated the commutative property.

step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

her total is 2

  -3+5=2
