8 to the power of x = 2

write down the value of x

a third 1/3

Step-by-step explanation

first write the equation

express 8 to power form = 2^3x don't forget the unknown, which is x

it becomes; 2^3x = 2^1

since the base numbers are same, cancel them.

equate the powers; 3x=1

divide both sides by the number next to the unknown to get the answer.
