ur welcome :)
O_O! i just simply typing "3" and it's correct in one try.
Thanks a lot for your soluton . It was helpful .
thanks!,:D
thanks, this is easy.
thank you, take it easy guys :) @arinilhaq
Let's start... Slightly rewriting, we get...
2 x 1 2 = 2 2 × 2 2 x + 1 ⟹ 2 x 1 2 = 2 2 x + 5
⟹ x 1 2 = 2 x + 5 ⟹ x 2 + 5 x − 2 4 = 0 ⟹ ( x − 3 ) ( x + 8 ) = 0
Hence, the only positive integer solution to x is 3
which book you do follow ?
2^12/x= 2^2+ 2^1/2.x+1/2 12/x= 5/2+1/2.x 12/x-1/2.x=5/2 -x²-5x+24=0 faz baskara e da -8 e 3, como pede o inteiro positivo, fica o 3!
(x root of 2) ^ 12 = (2 ^ 2) * (squareroot of 2) ^ (x + 1):> I change the radical to an exponent to make managing the equation easier.:> 2 ^ (12 / x) = 4 * (squareroot of 2) ^ (x + 1):> Since 4 is (the squareroot of 2) ^ 4, and is being multiplied to a like term of (squareroot of 2) ^ (x + 1), I can add the exponents together to get::> 2 ^ (12 / x) = (squareroot of 2) ^ (x + 5).:> to make the terms the same on each side of the equation, I can convert the [2 ^ (12 / x)] to [(Squareroot of 2) ^ (24 / x)].:> (Squareroot of 2) ^ (24 / x) = (squareroot of 2) ^ (x + 5):> I knoticed that when x = 3, 3 + 5 = 8 and 8 * 3 = 24.:> (Squareroot of 2) ^ (24 / 3) = (squareroot of 2) ^ (3 + 5):> (Squareroot of 2) ^ (8) = (squareroot of 2) ^ (8):> 2 ^ 4 = 2 ^ 4:> 16 = 16:> x = 3:> solved
compare the power of both sides 12/x =2+((x+1)/2) then solve equation for x and get answer
Your answer seems to be so simple not like those other long solutions, but could you elobrate your answer please. I could'nt get the way , you just added 1 and 2 to get the answer . Hoping for a reply.

try with my technique, if u like :)
Factor of 12 is = 1,2,3,4,6,12. And the only odd number is = 1 and 3. The answer must be = 3. (Don't use this techique on your exam)
2^12/x=2^2 (2) 1/2(x+1) then calculate it.. it will be solved...
2^(12/x)=2^2 (2^(x+1)/2) 2^(12/x)=2^(2+(x+1)/2) 2^(12/x)=2^((5+x)/2) 12/x=(5+x)/2 X^2+5 x-24=0 (x+8)(x-3)=0 x= -8 or x=3 hence positive integer of x=3

You just change the root to expoential number. After that, its easy to evaluate this!
