When solving the problem 7^x+2=7^3x−8 , your friend does the following: 7(x)+2=7(3x)−8 7x+2=21x−8 10=14x x=5/7 Was this correct? (1 point) Responses Both sides should be divided by 7 instead of multiplied by 7. Both sides should be divided by 7 instead of multiplied by 7. Yes, this is correct. No error was made. Yes, this is correct. No error was made. The 7 needs to be distributed across all terms when solving. The 7 needs to be distributed across all terms when solving. When the bases are the same, then we can set the exponents equal to each other and solve that equation.
