Question 2 • Algebra II

What is the solution to the equation 2 raised to the x plus 4 power minus 12 is equal to 20 ?

Answer
A
x is equal to 2
B
x is equal to 1
C
x is equal to 9
D
x is equal to 0

Explanation

Add 12 to both sides to get 2^(x + 4) = 32. Since 32 = 2^5, the exponents must be equal: x + 4 = 5, so x = 1. The correct choice is “x is equal to 1.”
