Answer :

ANSWER

x = 9

EXPLANATION

By the property of product of exponents with the same base, we know that we can rewrite the product as the base raised to the sum of the exponents,

[tex]8^2\cdot8^x=8^{2+x}[/tex]

And we know that the result is 8¹¹, thus,

[tex]2+x=11[/tex]

To solve for x, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2-2+x=11-2 \\ x=9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, x = 9.
