How does 2^x / 6^x = 2/6 what rule or law is this?
-
2^x/(6^x) does not equal 2/6.
(2^x)/(6^x) = (2/6)^(x) = (1/3)^(x)
= 1/(3^(x))
(2^x)/(6^x) = (2/6)^(x) = (1/3)^(x)
= 1/(3^(x))

No problem, Bill.

It doesn't. For instance, with x=2 you get 2^2 / 6^2 = 4/36 = 1/9, while 2/6 = 1/3.
It does simplify somewhat:
2^x / 6^x = 2/6
is the same as
(1/3)^x = (1/3)
The only time this equation is true is if x=1.

it's just multiplication property of equality

wouldnt the x's just be 1 idk what your asking?
