2^x+1 -3^x=8 exponential equation help pleas

Brent wants to know what is 5 x 1/2

An equation representing lyle’s hedge-trimming business is a = 12n - 300 where a is the amount of profit or loss in dollars and n is the number of hedges trimmed. how would the graph of lyle’s business change if the equation a = 10n - 300 represented his business? the graph would be flatter. the graph would be steeper. the graph would start closer to the origin. the graph would start lower on the y-axis.

Segment ab is shown on the graph. which shows how to find the x-coordinate of the point that will divide ab into a 2: 3 ratio using the formula
