Question 8 • PBCSD_Grade_Forgiveness_1200330_Algebra 2_S2_2024
Rewrite both bases as powers of 6: 36 = 6² and 216 = 6³. Then the equation becomes 6^(6s) = 6^(6s+3). Since the bases are equal and greater than 1, the exponents would have to be equal, but that would require 6s = 6s + 3, which is impossible. So the equation has no solution.
