What is x if 2^(9x-15)-1/64=0 ?

We'll move 1/64 to the right side and we'll write it as a
power of 2:


1/64 = 1/2^6


We'll
apply the negative power rule:


1/2^6 =
2^-6


We'll re-write the
equation:


2^(9x-15) =
2^-6


Since the bases are matching, we'll use the one to one
property of exponentials and we'll get:


9x - 15 =
-6


We'll divide by 3:


3x - 5 =
-2


We'll move the number alone to the right
side:


3x = 5 - 2


3x =
3


x = 1


The real
solution of the equation is x = 1.
