Answer:
B. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Rewrite the equation a bit
[tex]\frac{7^\frac{3}{4}}{7^\frac{x}{8}}=\sqrt[8]{7}\\7^\frac{3}{4}^-^\frac{x}{8}=7^\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Step 2: Place a logarithm base 7 on both sides
[tex]7^\frac{3}{4}^-^\frac{x}{8}=7^\frac{1}{8}\\log_77^\frac{3}{4}^-^\frac{x}{8}=log_77^\frac{1}{8}\\(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{x}{8})log_77=\frac{1}{8}log_77\\(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{x}{8})1=\frac{1}{8}1\\\frac{3}{4}-\frac{x}{8}=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Step 3: Solve for x
[tex]\frac{3}{4}-\frac{x}{8}=\frac{1}{8}\\\frac{6}{8}-\frac{x}{8}=\frac{1}{8}\\-\frac{x}{8}=-\frac{5}{8}\\\frac{x}{8}=\frac{5}{8}\\x=5[/tex]
Neat exponent question :)
