Answer:

a. x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

64ˣ = 16⁽ˣ⁻¹)

64 = 4³

16 = 4²

4³⁽ˣ⁾ = 4²⁽ˣ⁻¹)

4³ˣ = 4²ˣ⁻²

3x = 2x - 2

x = -2

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{x=-2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

64^x = 16^(x-1)

Rewrite the bases with base of 4.

(4^3)^x = (4^2)^(x-1)

Multiply exponents.

4^(3x) = 4^(2(x-1))

Cancel same bases.

3x = 2(x-1)

Expand brackets.

3x = 2x - 2

Subtract 2x from both sides.

x = -2
