What is the first step to solving the division problem below?

6288 divided by 8

devide it by 2 three times

Step-by-step explanation:

6288/2=3144

3144/2=1572

1572/2=786

i think that's the easiest way to do it

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

2  

x

=240
