Math Help!


Recommended Posts

My Pre-Calculus teacher gave us the following problem as a challenge:

x^2x=2x

the ^ is raised to the power of (just in case you didn't know)

I found that 1/4 was the answer through guess and check but I don't know how to work it! I'm sure it's all just algebra, but I haven't got a clue. Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks :)

One of my friends (who is in Calculus), sits around and thinks up math problems. He gave this to his calculus teacher and she couldn't solve it so she gave it to our Pre-Cal teacher and she couldn't solve it either. So she gave it to us! (as if we could solve it!) Anyway he said my answer was right (1/4), but refused to show me the work.
