Question 2 • CR - Algebra 2 26-27 - S2
Rewrite the bases as powers of 7: 49 = 7² and 343 = 7³. Then the equation becomes 7^(6x) = 7^(6x+3). Since powers with the same base greater than 1 are equal only when their exponents are equal, this would require 6x = 6x + 3, which is impossible. Therefore, the equation has no solution.
