Solve the exponential equation.
116=644x−3
To solve the exponential equation 116 = 644x - 3, we need to isolate the variable x.
1. Add 3 to both sides of the equation:
116 + 3 = 644x - 3 + 3
119 = 644x
2. Divide both sides by 644 to solve for x:
119/644 = 644x/644
x = 119/644
Therefore, x = 119/644 is the solution to the exponential equation.
