Homework Statement
4*(5^x)-3(0.4^2x)=11
In case it doesn't make sense, in the attempted solution it's written out better

TheExibo said:Yes! I'm really bad with typing out equations, but that's exactly it!
An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that contains numbers, variables, and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It does not have an equal sign, and it represents a quantity or a relationship between quantities.
A variable is a symbol that represents a quantity that can change or vary. It is usually represented by a letter, such as x, y, or z, and it can take on different values in an algebraic expression.
The order of operations in algebra is the set of rules that determines the sequence in which operations are performed in an expression. The acronym PEMDAS is often used to remember the order: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
A coefficient is the number that is multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression. For example, in the expression 3x, 3 is the coefficient of x. Coefficients can be positive, negative, whole numbers, fractions, or decimals.
To solve an algebraic equation, you need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. This is done by using inverse operations, which are operations that undo each other. The goal is to get the variable alone on one side and the numbers on the other side, with an equal sign in between. The value of the variable can then be determined by performing the necessary operations.
