If 2x = 4y = 8z and xyz = 288, then find the value of x.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
(2)x = ((2)2)y = ((2)3)z
2x = 22y = 23z
So, in this condition, if base is same, then power will be equal
x = 2y = 3z
x = 6R
y = 3R
z = 2R
Now, xyz = 288
6R×3R×2R = 288
36R3 = 288
R3 = 8
R = 2
x =6×2 = 12
