Explanation:
Okay, so I need to figure out how many calories make up a person's daily caloric requirement if a snack-size tin of peaches has 40 calories and that's 2% of their daily need. Hmm, let me think.

First, I remember that percentages can be used to find parts of a whole. If 40 calories represent 2% of the total daily calories, then I need to find what number (let's call it X) is such that 2% of X equals 40.

So, translating that into math, it would be 2% of X = 40. To write that as an equation, percentages are out of 100, so 2% is the same as 0.02 in decimal form. Therefore, the equation is 0.02 * X = 40.

Now, to solve for X, I need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.02. That should give me X = 40 / 0.02. Let me do that calculation.

Dividing by 0.02 is the same as multiplying by 50, right? Because 1 divided by 0.02 is 50. So 40 times 50... Let me compute that. 40 * 50 is 2000. Wait, so does that mean the daily caloric requirement is 2000 calories?

Let me check my steps again to make sure I didn't make a mistake. Starting with 2% of the daily calories is 40. So 2% is 0.02, so 0.02 * X = 40. Solving for X gives X = 40 / 0.02.

Yes, 40 divided by 0.02. Let me do that division another way to confirm. If I have 40 divided by 0.02, I can multiply numerator and denominator by 100 to eliminate the decimal. That would be (40 * 100) / (0.02 * 100) = 4000 / 2 = 2000. Yep, same result.

So that seems to check out. Therefore, the person's daily caloric requirement is 2000 calories.

But wait, just to make sure, let me think about it in another way. If 2% is 40 calories, then 1% would be half of that, which is 20 calories. Then 100% would be 20 calories times 100, which is 2000. Yep, that also gives me 2000.

So both methods give me the same answer, so I think that's solid.

I guess another way to think about it is, if 2% equals 40, then how much is 1%? Dividing 40 by 2 gives 20, so 1% is 20. Then multiplying by 100 gives the total.

All right, so all different approaches lead me to 2000 calories. I don't see any errors in my reasoning.

Therefore, the answer should be 2000 calories.

**Final Answer**
The person's daily caloric requirement is \boxed{2000} calories.

To determine a person's daily caloric requirement, we are given that a snack-size tin of peaches contains **40 calories**, which represents **2%** of their daily caloric intake.

---

### Step 1: Understand the Relationship

We are told that:

$$
2\% \text{ of daily calories} = 40 \text{ calories}
$$

This can be expressed mathematically as:

$$
0.02 \times X = 40
$$

Where $ X $ is the total daily caloric requirement.

---

### Step 2: Solve for $ X $

To isolate $ X $, divide both sides of the equation by 0.02:

$$
X = \frac{40}{0.02}
$$

Now, perform the division:

$$
X = 2000
$$

---

### Step 3: Verify the Result

To double-check, we can reverse the calculation:

- 1% of 2000 calories = 20 calories
- 2% of 2000 calories = 40 calories

This confirms that the calculation is correct.

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{2000}

Explanation:
Okay, so I need to compute 99 squared plus 99 plus 1. Let me think about how to do this mentally. Hmm, 99 is a number close to 100, which might make things easier. Maybe I can use some algebraic identities or break it down into parts. Let me start by recalling that (a - b)^2 is a^2 - 2ab + b^2. But here, I have 99 squared. Let me write that down:

First, compute 99². Since 99 is 100 - 1, maybe I can use the formula (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b². Let me try that. Let a = 100 and b = 1. Then:

(100 - 1)² = 100² - 2*100*1 + 1² = 10000 - 200 + 1 = 9801. Okay, so 99 squared is 9801. Got that part.

Now, the original problem is 99² + 99 + 1. So I have 9801 + 99 + 1. Let me add those numbers step by step. First, 9801 + 99. Hmm, adding 99 to 9801. Well, 9801 + 99 is the same as 9801 + 100 - 1. That would be 9901 - 1 = 9900. Wait, let me check that again. 9801 + 100 is 9901, and then subtract 1 gives 9900. Yes, that seems right. So 9801 + 99 = 9900. Then, adding the last 1: 9900 + 1 = 9901. So the total is 9901?

Wait, let me verify that again. Maybe I made a mistake in the addition. Let me do it another way. 99 squared is 9801. Then adding 99: 9801 + 99. Let me think of 9801 + 99 as 9801 + 90 + 9. 9801 + 90 is 9891, then +9 is 9900. Then adding 1 gives 9901. Yeah, that seems consistent. So the answer is 9901?

Alternatively, maybe there's a smarter way to do this without calculating 99 squared first. Let me think. The original expression is 99² + 99 + 1. Maybe I can factor something out? Let me see. Let me write it as 99² + 99 + 1. If I factor 99 from the first two terms, I get 99*(99 + 1) + 1. Which is 99*100 + 1. Oh! That's 9900 + 1 = 9901. Oh, that's a much simpler way! So instead of calculating 99 squared first, I can factor 99 out of the first two terms. That seems more efficient. Let me check that again:

Original expression: 99² + 99 + 1. Factor 99 from the first two terms: 99*(99 + 1) + 1. Since 99 + 1 is 100, that becomes 99*100 + 1. Which is 9900 + 1 = 9901. Yep, same result. So that's a better way to do it mentally. So maybe I should have noticed that earlier. But either way, both methods lead to 9901. Let me just confirm once more with another approach.

Alternatively, think of the entire expression as a quadratic in terms of 99. Let me see. Let me denote x = 99. Then the expression is x² + x + 1. If I plug in x = 99, that's 99² + 99 + 1. But maybe there's a formula or something? Not sure. Alternatively, maybe think of x² + x + 1 as (x³ - 1)/(x - 1) when x ≠ 1. But that might not help here. Let me check: (x³ - 1)/(x - 1) = x² + x + 1. So if I use that formula, then x² + x + 1 = (x³ - 1)/(x - 1). But if I plug in x = 99, that would be (99³ - 1)/98. But that seems more complicated. Probably not helpful for mental math. So better to stick with the previous methods.

Alternatively, maybe compute 99² + 99 + 1 as (99 + 0.5)^2 + something? Not sure. Let me try. Let me think of 99 as 100 - 1. Then 99² is (100 - 1)^2 = 10000 - 200 + 1 = 9801 as before. Then adding 99 gives 9801 + 99 = 9900, then +1 is 9901. Same result. So regardless of the method, I get 9901. Let me check with actual multiplication to be 100% sure.

Compute 99 squared: 99*99. Let me do 100*99 - 1*99 = 9900 - 99 = 9801. Correct. Then 9801 + 99 = 9900. Then 9900 + 1 = 9901. Yep. So that's correct. Alternatively, if I didn't remember the formula for (a - b)^2, I could do 99*99 as follows: 99*99. Let me think of it as 99*(100 - 1) = 99*100 - 99*1 = 9900 - 99 = 9801. Same result. So that's solid.

Alternatively, if I didn't remember any of that, maybe I could do 99*99 by breaking it down further. For example, 99*99 = (90 + 9)*(90 + 9). But that might be more complicated. Alternatively, 99*99 = 99*(100 - 1) as before. Either way, same thing.

So, all methods lead to 9901. Therefore, I can be confident that the answer is 9901. Let me just check once more with another approach. Let me add all the numbers step by step:

First, 99² is 9801. Then adding 99: 9801 + 99. Let me add 9801 + 99. Let me think of 9801 + 99 as 9801 + 90 + 9. 9801 + 90 is 9891. Then 9891 + 9 is 9900. Then add 1: 9900 + 1 = 9901. Yep. So that's correct.

Alternatively, if I think of 99² + 99 + 1 as 99² + 99 + 1 = 99(99 + 1) + 1 = 99*100 + 1 = 9900 + 1 = 9901. That's even quicker. So that's the way to go. So the key was to factor out the 99 from the first two terms. That's a useful technique. So, in summary, by recognizing that 99² + 99 can be written as 99*(99 + 1), which simplifies to 99*100, and then adding 1 gives the result. That's a much more efficient mental calculation.

I think that's thorough enough. I can't see any mistakes in my reasoning. All methods converge to 9901, so I think that's the correct answer.

**Final Answer**
\boxed{9901}

To compute the expression $ 99^2 + 99 + 1 $, we can simplify the process by recognizing a useful algebraic pattern.

### Step 1: Recognize the structure

We are given:

$$
99^2 + 99 + 1
$$

This expression can be rewritten by factoring the first two terms:

$$
99^2 + 99 = 99(99 + 1)
$$

So the full expression becomes:

$$
99(99 + 1) + 1
$$

---

### Step 2: Simplify the expression

Now compute the inner part:

$$
99 + 1 = 100
$$

So the expression becomes:

$$
99 \times 100 + 1
$$

Now compute:

$$
99 \times 100 = 9900
$$

Then add 1:

$$
9900 + 1 = 9901
$$

Explanation:
Okay, so I need to figure out what 1 raised to the power of (2^235423523) is. Hmm, let me start by recalling some basic exponent rules.

First off, any number raised to a power is just that number multiplied by itself that many times. But when the base is 1, things might be simpler. Wait, 1 multiplied by itself any number of times is still 1, right? Like 1^2 is 1, 1^3 is 1, and so on. So no matter how many times you multiply 1 by itself, the result is always 1.

But hold on, the exponent here is a huge number: 2 raised to the power of 235423523. That's an astronomically large exponent. But does that matter? Let me think.

Let me write it out: 1^(2^235423523). The base is 1, and the exponent is some massive number. But regardless of how big the exponent is, if the base is 1, the result should still be 1. Is there any case where 1 raised to some power isn't 1?

Wait, maybe if the exponent is zero? Because 1^0 is 1, but 0^0 is undefined. But in this case, the exponent is definitely not zero. It's 2 raised to a huge positive number, which is definitely a positive integer. So the exponent is a positive integer.

So, 1 raised to any positive integer power is 1. Therefore, 1^(anything) is 1, as long as the exponent is a positive integer.

But let me check if there are any exceptions or special cases. For example, in some contexts, exponents can be fractions or negative numbers, but here the exponent is 2^235423523, which is a positive integer.

Another thought: maybe the problem is trying to trick me into thinking about something else? Like, maybe the exponent is 2^something, but is there a different interpretation? For example, is the exponent 2^235423523 or is it something else? The way it's written is 1^(2^235423523), so the exponent is 2 raised to that huge number.

Alternatively, could there be a misinterpretation of the notation? Like, maybe someone might think it's 1^2^235423523, but exponentiation is right-associative, so that would be 1^(2^235423523), which is the same as what's written.

So, no, there's no ambiguity in the notation here. The exponent is definitely 2^235423523.

Another angle: maybe considering logarithms or something? But that seems unnecessary. If I take the natural logarithm of 1^(2^235423523), that would be (2^235423523) * ln(1). But ln(1) is 0, so the whole thing is 0, and then exponentiating back gives e^0 = 1. So that also leads to 1.

Alternatively, maybe using properties of exponents. For example, 1^a = 1 for any real number a, except when a is undefined. But again, here a is a positive integer, so it's defined.

Wait, but is 1^a defined for all real numbers a? Let me think. If a is a real number, then 1^a is still 1, right? Because 1 multiplied by itself a times, even if a is not an integer? Wait, but if a is not an integer, like 1/2, then 1^(1/2) is the square root of 1, which is still 1. Similarly, 1^(-2) is 1/1^2 = 1. So even for non-integer exponents, 1^a is 1.

But in this case, the exponent is an integer, so it's definitely 1.

Is there any case where 1^something isn't 1? For example, if the base is 1 and the exponent is 0, but 1^0 is 1. If the exponent is undefined, like 0^0, but that's a different case.

So, in conclusion, regardless of how big the exponent is, as long as the base is 1, the result is 1.

Therefore, 1 raised to any power, even an extremely large one like 2^235423523, is just 1.

But let me check with smaller exponents to make sure.

For example, 1^1 = 1.

1^2 = 1.

1^100 = 1.

Even 1^1000000 is 1.

So, no matter how big the exponent, it's still 1.

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

I don't see any reason to doubt this. Maybe the problem is testing if I get confused by the huge exponent? But no, the key is that the base is 1.

Alternatively, maybe there's a trick with the exponent? For example, if the exponent was 0, but it's not. If the exponent was something else? But no.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is written in a different notation? Like, maybe 1^{(2^{235423523})} is different from 1^(2^235423523)? But no, the parentheses are just there to indicate the exponent.

Alternatively, maybe the exponent is 2^235423523, but is that number even? Well, 2 raised to any positive integer is even, so the exponent is even. But does that matter? For example, if the base was -1, then (-1)^even is 1, but here the base is 1.

So, even if the exponent is even or odd, 1 raised to any power is 1.

Therefore, regardless of the exponent's parity, the result is 1.

So, I think I've covered all possible angles here. The answer is definitely 1.

**Final Answer**
\boxed{1}

To evaluate the expression $ 1^{(2^{235423523})} $, we begin by analyzing the structure of the expression and applying fundamental properties of exponents.

---

### Step 1: Understanding the Base

The base of the exponentiation is **1**. This is a crucial observation because:

- **Any number raised to any power is equal to itself if the base is 1.**
- Specifically, $ 1^n = 1 $ for **any real number** $ n $, including positive integers, negative integers, and even irrational numbers.

This is because multiplying 1 by itself any number of times always results in 1.

---

### Step 2: Analyzing the Exponent

The exponent in this case is $ 2^{235423523} $, which is an **extremely large positive integer**. However, the **value of the exponent** does not affect the result in this case, because:

- The base is **1**, and the rule $ 1^n = 1 $ holds **regardless of the size of the exponent**.
- Even if the exponent were 0, $ 1^0 = 1 $, and if it were negative, $ 1^{-n} = \frac{1}{1^n} = 1 $.

So, whether the exponent is large, small, or even undefined (as long as it's defined), the result remains the same.

---

### Step 3: Verifying with Smaller Examples

To confirm this, consider smaller exponents:

- $ 1^1 = 1 $
- $ 1^2 = 1 $
- $ 1^{100} = 1 $
- $ 1^{1000000} = 1 $

In all these cases, the result is **1**, regardless of the exponent's size.

---

### Step 4: Final Conclusion

Given that the base is 1 and the exponent is a positive integer (even though it's extremely large), the expression simplifies directly to:

$$
1^{(2^{235423523})} = 1
$$

### Final Answer

Explanation:
Okay, so I need to figure out what 1 raised to the power of (2^235423523) is. Hmm, let me start by recalling some basic exponent rules.

First off, any number raised to a power is just that number multiplied by itself that many times. But when the base is 1, things might be simpler. Wait, 1 multiplied by itself any number of times is still 1, right? Like 1^2 is 1, 1^3 is 1, and so on. So no matter how many times you multiply 1 by itself, the result is always 1.

But hold on, the exponent here is a huge number: 2 raised to the power of 235423523. That's an astronomically large exponent. But does that matter? Let me think.

Let me write it out: 1^(2^235423523). The base is 1, and the exponent is some massive number. But regardless of how big the exponent is, if the base is 1, the result should still be 1. Is there any case where 1 raised to some power isn't 1?

Wait, maybe if the exponent is zero? Because 1^0 is 1, but 0^0 is undefined. But in this case, the exponent is definitely not zero. It's 2 raised to a huge positive number, which is definitely a positive integer. So the exponent is a positive integer.

So, 1 raised to any positive integer power is 1. Therefore, 1^(anything) is 1, as long as the exponent is a positive integer.

But let me check if there are any exceptions or special cases. For example, in some contexts, exponents can be fractions or negative numbers, but here the exponent is 2^235423523, which is a positive integer.

Another thought: maybe the problem is trying to trick me into thinking about something else? Like, maybe the exponent is 2^something, but is there a different interpretation? For example, is the exponent 2^235423523 or is it something else? The way it's written is 1^(2^235423523), so the exponent is 2 raised to that huge number.

Alternatively, could there be a misinterpretation of the notation? Like, maybe someone might think it's 1^2^235423523, but exponentiation is right-associative, so that would be 1^(2^235423523), which is the same as what's written.

So, no, there's no ambiguity in the notation here. The exponent is definitely 2^235423523.

Another angle: maybe considering logarithms or something? But that seems unnecessary. If I take the natural logarithm of 1^(2^235423523), that would be (2^235423523) * ln(1). But ln(1) is 0, so the whole thing is 0, and then exponentiating back gives e^0 = 1. So that also leads to 1.

Alternatively, maybe using properties of exponents. For example, 1^a = 1 for any real number a, except when a is undefined. But again, here a is a positive integer, so it's defined.

Wait, but is 1^a defined for all real numbers a? Let me think. If a is a real number, then 1^a is still 1, right? Because 1 multiplied by itself a times, even if a is not an integer? Wait, but if a is not an integer, like 1/2, then 1^(1/2) is the square root of 1, which is still 1. Similarly, 1^(-2) is 1/1^2 = 1. So even for non-integer exponents, 1^a is 1.

But in this case, the exponent is an integer, so it's definitely 1.

Is there any case where 1^something isn't 1? For example, if the base is 1 and the exponent is 0, but 1^0 is 1. If the exponent is undefined, like 0^0, but that's a different case.

So, in conclusion, regardless of how big the exponent is, as long as the base is 1, the result is 1.

Therefore, 1 raised to any power, even an extremely large one like 2^235423523, is just 1.

But let me check with smaller exponents to make sure.

For example, 1^1 = 1.

1^2 = 1.

1^100 = 1.

Even 1^1000000 is 1.

So, no matter how big the exponent, it's still 1.

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

I don't see any reason to doubt this. Maybe the problem is testing if I get confused by the huge exponent? But no, the key is that the base is 1.

Alternatively, maybe there's a trick with the exponent? For example, if the exponent was 0, but it's not. If the exponent was something else? But no.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is written in a different notation? Like, maybe 1^{(2^{235423523})} is different from 1^(2^235423523)? But no, the parentheses are just there to indicate the exponent.

Alternatively, maybe the exponent is 2^235423523, but is that number even? Well, 2 raised to any positive integer is even, so the exponent is even. But does that matter? For example, if the base was -1, then (-1)^even is 1, but here the base is 1.

So, even if the exponent is even or odd, 1 raised to any power is 1.

Therefore, regardless of the exponent's parity, the result is 1.

So, I think I've covered all possible angles here. The answer is definitely 1.

Solution: One raised to any power is one, so our answer is $\boxed{1}.$


Explanation:
Okay, so I need to solve the equation 2^8 = 4^x and find the value of x. Hmm, let me think. Both sides of the equation have exponents, but the bases are different: one is 2 and the other is 4. Maybe I can rewrite both sides with the same base? That usually helps when dealing with exponential equations.

Wait, 4 is a power of 2, right? Specifically, 4 is 2 squared. So maybe I can express 4^x in terms of base 2. Let me try that.

So, 4 is equal to 2^2. Therefore, 4^x would be (2^2)^x. Now, using the exponent rule (a^b)^c = a^(b*c), that would be 2^(2x). So substituting back into the original equation, we have 2^8 = 2^(2x).

Since the bases are now the same and both sides are equal, their exponents must be equal as well. That means 8 = 2x. To solve for x, I can divide both sides of the equation by 2.

So, 8 divided by 2 is 4. Therefore, x equals 4. Let me check if that makes sense. If x is 4, then 4^4 is (2^2)^4, which is 2^(2*4) = 2^8. And the left side is 2^8, so both sides are equal. Yep, that checks out.

Wait, let me make sure I didn't skip any steps or make any mistakes. Let me go through it again. Original equation: 2^8 = 4^x. Express 4 as 2^2, so 4^x becomes (2^2)^x. Applying the power rule, that's 2^(2x). Therefore, 2^8 = 2^(2x). Since the bases are equal, set the exponents equal: 8 = 2x. Solving for x gives x = 8/2 = 4.

Another way to think about it: maybe take the logarithm of both sides? Let me try that method to verify. Taking the natural logarithm of both sides: ln(2^8) = ln(4^x). Using the logarithm power rule, that becomes 8*ln(2) = x*ln(4). Then, solving for x gives x = (8*ln(2))/ln(4).

But ln(4) is ln(2^2) which is 2*ln(2). Therefore, substituting back, x = (8*ln(2))/(2*ln(2)) = 8/2 = 4. Same result. So that confirms it.

Alternatively, maybe using common logarithms? Let's see. log(2^8) = log(4^x). Then 8*log(2) = x*log(4). Again, log(4) is log(2^2) = 2*log(2). Therefore, x = 8*log(2)/[2*log(2)] = 4. Yep, same answer.

So regardless of the method, I get x = 4. Therefore, I think that's the correct answer.

But just to be thorough, let me compute both sides numerically. Let's calculate 2^8. 2^8 is 256. Now, 4^x when x=4 is 4^4. 4^2 is 16, so 4^4 is 16^2, which is 256. So 256 equals 256. Perfect, that's exactly the same.

Is there any other way this could be approached? Maybe by recognizing that 2^8 is 256 and 4^x is also 256, so what power of 4 gives 256? Well, 4^1=4, 4^2=16, 4^3=64, 4^4=256. So yeah, x=4.

Alternatively, if I didn't remember that 4^4 is 256, I could keep multiplying by 4: 4^1=4, 4^2=16, 4^3=64, 4^4=256. So that's four multiplications, so x=4.

So all methods lead to x=4. Therefore, I can be confident that the answer is 4.

I think that's solid. No mistakes in my reasoning. All checks confirm that x=4 is the correct solution.

**Final Answer**
The value of $ x $ is \boxed{4}.

To solve the equation $ 2^8 = 4^x $, we begin by recognizing that both sides involve exponential expressions, but with different bases. The key to solving this is to express both sides with the same base, which will allow us to equate the exponents.

---

### Step 1: Express both sides with the same base

We know that:

$$
4 = 2^2
$$

So, we can rewrite the right-hand side of the equation:

$$
4^x = (2^2)^x
$$

Using the exponent rule $ (a^b)^c = a^{bc} $, this becomes:

$$
(2^2)^x = 2^{2x}
$$

Now the equation becomes:

$$
2^8 = 2^{2x}
$$

---

### Step 2: Equate the exponents

Since the bases are the same and the expressions are equal, their exponents must be equal:

$$
8 = 2x
$$

---

### Step 3: Solve for $ x $

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

$$
x = \frac{8}{2} = 4
$$

---

### Step 4: Verify the solution

Let’s verify by substituting $ x = 4 $ back into the original equation:

- Left-hand side: $ 2^8 = 256 $
- Right-hand side: $ 4^4 = (2^2)^4 = 2^{2 \cdot 4} = 2^8 = 256 $

Both sides are equal, confirming that the solution is correct.

Explanation:
Okay, so I need to find the value of x that makes the equation 2³ times 3^x equal to 72. Let me start by writing down the equation again to make sure I have it right: 2³ * 3^x = 72. Alright, let me think about how to approach this.

First, I know that 2³ is 8, right? Because 2 multiplied by itself three times is 2*2*2, which is 8. So maybe I can simplify the left side of the equation by calculating 2³ first. Let me do that.

So replacing 2³ with 8, the equation becomes 8 * 3^x = 72. Now, I need to solve for x. Hmm, how do I isolate x here? Well, since 3^x is being multiplied by 8, I can divide both sides of the equation by 8 to get 3^x by itself. Let me try that.

Dividing both sides by 8 gives me 3^x = 72 / 8. Let me calculate 72 divided by 8. 8 times 9 is 72, so 72 divided by 8 is 9. So now the equation simplifies to 3^x = 9.

Okay, so now I need to solve 3^x = 9. I remember that 3 squared is 9, right? Because 3*3 is 9. So if 3^x equals 9, then x must be 2. Let me check that.

If x is 2, then substituting back into the original equation: 2³ * 3². 2³ is 8, and 3² is 9. Multiplying those together: 8*9. Let me do that multiplication. 8*9 is 72, which matches the right side of the equation. So that works.

Wait, but let me make sure there isn't another way to approach this problem, just to confirm. Maybe using logarithms? I remember that logarithms can be used to solve equations where the variable is in the exponent. Let me try that method too.

Starting again from 3^x = 9. Taking the logarithm of both sides. I can use natural logarithm or logarithm base 10. Let me use natural logarithm for this example. So ln(3^x) = ln(9). Using the logarithm power rule, which says that ln(a^b) = b*ln(a), so this becomes x*ln(3) = ln(9). Therefore, solving for x gives x = ln(9)/ln(3).

Now, let me compute that. I know that ln(9) is the natural logarithm of 9, and ln(3) is the natural logarithm of 3. But 9 is 3 squared, so ln(9) is ln(3²) which is 2*ln(3). Therefore, substituting back into the equation, x = (2*ln(3))/ln(3) = 2. So that also gives me x = 2.

Okay, so both methods give me the same answer, which is reassuring. Let me check once more by substituting x = 2 into the original equation.

Original equation: 2³ * 3^x = 72. Plugging in x = 2: 2³ is 8, 3² is 9, 8*9 is 72. Yep, that's exactly the right-hand side. So that checks out.

Is there any other possible value of x that could satisfy this equation? Well, since 3^x is an exponential function, it's one-to-one, meaning that there's only one solution for x. So x = 2 is the unique solution.

Alternatively, maybe I can factor 72 into its prime factors and see if that helps. Let me try that.

Breaking down 72 into prime factors. 72 divided by 2 is 36, divided by 2 again is 18, divided by 2 again is 9, and then 9 is 3 squared. So the prime factorization of 72 is 2³ * 3².

Wait a second, that's exactly the left side of the equation! The original equation is 2³ * 3^x = 72, and the prime factorization of 72 is 2³ * 3². Therefore, comparing both sides, 3^x must equal 3², so x is 2.

Oh, that's another way to see it. So by factoring 72, I can directly compare the exponents of the same bases. Since both sides have the same base 2 with exponent 3, the exponents of base 3 must be equal, so x is 2.

So all three methods—direct substitution, logarithms, and prime factorization—lead me to the same answer, x = 2.

I think that's thorough enough. I considered different approaches to solve the equation and verified the answer through multiple methods. Each time, I arrived at x = 2, and substituting back into the original equation confirmed that it's correct.

Just to recap the steps clearly:

1. Start with 2³ * 3^x = 72.
2. Calculate 2³ = 8, so equation becomes 8 * 3^x = 72.
3. Divide both sides by 8: 3^x = 9.
4. Recognize that 9 is 3², so x = 2.
5. Verified using logarithms and prime factorization, both confirming x = 2.

No steps seem to be missing, and all checks out. I don't see any mistakes in my reasoning. Therefore, I'm confident that x = 2 is the correct solution.

**Final Answer**
The value of $ x $ is \boxed{2}.

To solve the equation:

$$
2^3 \cdot 3^x = 72
$$

we begin by simplifying the left-hand side. Since $ 2^3 = 8 $, the equation becomes:

$$
8 \cdot 3^x = 72
$$

---

### Step 1: Isolate the exponential term

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

$$
3^x = \frac{72}{8} = 9
$$

---

### Step 2: Solve for $ x $

We now have:

$$
3^x = 9
$$

Recognizing that $ 9 = 3^2 $, we can equate the exponents:

$$
x = 2
$$

---

### Step 3: Verification

To ensure the solution is correct, substitute $ x = 2 $ back into the original equation:

$$
2^3 \cdot 3^2 = 8 \cdot 9 = 72
$$

This matches the right-hand side of the equation, confirming the solution is valid.

---

### Alternative Verification via Logarithms

We can also solve the equation using logarithms. Starting from:

$$
3^x = 9
$$

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$$
\ln(3^x) = \ln(9)
$$

Apply the logarithmic identity $ \ln(a^b) = b \ln(a) $:

$$
x \ln(3) = \ln(9)
$$

Since $ 9 = 3^2 $, we have $ \ln(9) = \ln(3^2) = 2 \ln(3) $, so:

$$
x \ln(3) = 2 \ln(3) \Rightarrow x = 2
$$

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{2}

So replacing 2³ with 8, the equation becomes 8 * 3^x = 72. Now, I need to solve for x. Hmm, how do I isolate x here? Well, since 3^x is being multiplied by 8, I can divide both sides of the equation by 8 to get 3^x by itself. Let me try that.

Dividing both sides by 8 gives me 3^x = 72 / 8. Let me calculate 72 divided by 8. 8 times 9 is 72, so 72 divided by 8 is 9. So now the equation simplifies to 3^x = 9.

Okay, so now I need to solve 3^x = 9. I remember that 3 squared is 9, right? Because 3*3 is 9. So if 3^x equals 9, then x must be 2. Let me check that.

If x is 2, then substituting back into the original equation: 2³ * 3². 2³ is 8, and 3² is 9. Multiplying those together: 8*9. Let me do that multiplication. 8*9 is 72, which matches the right side of the equation. So that works.

Now, let me compute that. I know that ln(9) is the natural logarithm of 9, and ln(3) is the natural logarithm of 3. But 9 is 3 squared, so ln(9) is ln(3²) which is 2*ln(3). Therefore, substituting back into the equation, x = (2*ln(3))/ln(3) = 2. So that also gives me x = 2.

Okay, so both methods give me the same answer, which is reassuring. Let me check once more by substituting x = 2 into the original equation.

Original equation: 2³ * 3^x = 72. Plugging in x = 2: 2³ is 8, 3² is 9, 8*9 is 72. Yep, that's exactly the right-hand side. So that checks out.

Is there any other possible value of x that could satisfy this equation? Well, since 3^x is an exponential function, it's one-to-one, meaning that there's only one solution for x. So x = 2 is the unique solution.

Alternatively, maybe I can factor 72 into its prime factors and see if that helps. Let me try that.

Breaking down 72 into prime factors. 72 divided by 2 is 36, divided by 2 again is 18, divided by 2 again is 9, and then 9 is 3 squared. So the prime factorization of 72 is 2³ * 3².

Wait a second, that's exactly the left side of the equation! The original equation is 2³ * 3^x = 72, and the prime factorization of 72 is 2³ * 3². Therefore, comparing both sides, 3^x must equal 3², so x is 2.

Oh, that's another way to see it. So by factoring 72, I can directly compare the exponents of the same bases. Since both sides have the same base 2 with exponent 3, the exponents of base 3 must be equal, so x is 2.

So all three methods—direct substitution, logarithms, and prime factorization—lead me to the same answer, x = 2.

I think that's thorough enough. I considered different approaches to solve the equation and verified the answer through multiple methods. Each time, I arrived at x = 2, and substituting back into the original equation confirmed that it's correct.

Just to recap the steps clearly:

1. Start with 2³ * 3^x = 72.
2. Calculate 2³ = 8, so equation becomes 8 * 3^x = 72.
3. Divide both sides by 8: 3^x = 9.
4. Recognize that 9 is 3², so x = 2.
5. Verified using logarithms and prime factorization, both confirming x = 2.

No steps seem to be missing, and all checks out. I don't see any mistakes in my reasoning. Therefore, I'm confident that x = 2 is the correct solution.

**Final Answer**
The value of $ x $ is \boxed{2}.

To solve the equation:

$$
2^3 \cdot 3^x = 72
$$

we begin by simplifying the left-hand side. Since $ 2^3 = 8 $, the equation becomes:

$$
8 \cdot 3^x = 72
$$

---

### Step 1: Isolate the exponential term

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

$$
3^x = \frac{72}{8} = 9
$$

---

### Step 2: Solve for $ x $

We now have:

$$
3^x = 9
$$

Recognizing that $ 9 = 3^2 $, we can equate the exponents:

$$
x = 2
$$

---

### Step 3: Verification

To ensure the solution is correct, substitute $ x = 2 $ back into the original equation:

$$
2^3 \cdot 3^2 = 8 \cdot 9 = 72
$$

This matches the right-hand side of the equation, confirming the solution is valid.

---

### Alternative Verification via Logarithms

We can also solve the equation using logarithms. Starting from:

$$
3^x = 9
$$

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$$
\ln(3^x) = \ln(9)
$$

Apply the logarithmic identity $ \ln(a^b) = b \ln(a) $:

$$
x \ln(3) = \ln(9)
$$

Since $ 9 = 3^2 $, we have $ \ln(9) = \ln(3^2) = 2 \ln(3) $, so:

$$
x \ln(3) = 2 \ln(3) \Rightarrow x = 2
$$

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{2}
$$

Solution: Since the prime factorization of 72 is $72=2^3\cdot 3^2$, we have $x=\boxed{2}$.


Explanation:
Okay, so I need to figure out how many different outfits I can make with the given clothes. Let me start by understanding the problem.

I have 5 shirts, 6 pairs of pants, and 8 hats. An outfit consists of one shirt, one pair of pants, and one hat. So, I need to find the total number of possible combinations.

Hmm, let me think. When I have multiple choices for different items, and I need to combine them, I think this is a problem about the multiplication principle in combinatorics. The multiplication principle says that if there are n ways to do something and m ways to do another thing independently, then there are n × m ways to do both.

So, applying that here, for each shirt I choose, I can pair it with any of the pants and any of the hats. So, maybe I should multiply the number of shirts by the number of pants and then by the number of hats? Let me check that logic.

Let me break it down step by step. First, how many choices do I have for shirts? 5. For each of those shirts, how many pants can I pair them with? 6. So, for each shirt, there are 6 different pants. So, the number of shirt and pants combinations would be 5 shirts × 6 pants = 30 combinations.

Then, for each of those 30 combinations, how many hats can I add? There are 8 hats. So, for each shirt-pants combo, I can choose any of the 8 hats. Therefore, the total number of outfits would be 30 × 8. Let me calculate that.

30 × 8 is 240. So, does that mean there are 240 different outfits?

Wait, let me make sure I didn't miss anything. The problem says "one shirt, one pair of pants, and one hat." So, each outfit must have exactly one of each. There's no mention of any restrictions, like certain shirts not going with certain pants or hats. So, all combinations are allowed.

Therefore, the total number of outfits is indeed the product of the number of shirts, pants, and hats.

Alternatively, I can think of it as three separate choices: shirt, pants, hat. For each choice, the number of options is independent. So, the total number of outfits is 5 × 6 × 8.

Let me compute that again. 5 times 6 is 30, and 30 times 8 is 240. Yep, same result.

Is there another way to approach this? Maybe by considering permutations or combinations? But since we are choosing one of each category, and the order doesn't matter within the outfit (i.e., the outfit is just a combination of shirt, pants, and hat, not ordered in any particular way), it's not a permutation problem.

Combinations usually refer to selecting items without regard to order, but here we are selecting one item from each category. So, the multiplication principle is the right approach here.

Another way to think about it: imagine building an outfit step by step. First, pick a shirt. There are 5 options. Then, for each shirt, pick pants. There are 6 options. Then, for each of those, pick a hat. There are 8 options. So, the total number is 5 * 6 * 8.

Alternatively, if I think of it as a tree. Each shirt branches into 6 pants, and each of those branches into 8 hats. So, the total number of paths from the root (no clothes) to the leaves (complete outfit) would be 5 * 6 * 8.

I think that's solid. Let me check if there's any chance I overcounted or undercounted.

Suppose I have 5 shirts. Let's say shirt A, B, C, D, E. For each shirt, 6 pants: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. For each of those, 8 hats: 1 to 8.

So, for shirt A, pants 1, I can have hats 1-8: 8 outfits. Similarly, shirt A, pants 2, also 8 outfits. So, for shirt A, total is 6 pants * 8 hats = 48. Then, same for shirt B, C, D, E. So, total is 5 shirts * 48 = 240.

Yes, that's the same as before.

Alternatively, if I think of it as 5 * 6 = 30 shirt-pants combinations, and then 30 * 8 = 240.

So, all methods lead to 240.

I don't see any restrictions mentioned in the problem. For example, if there were some shirts that couldn't be worn with certain pants or hats, we would have to adjust for that. But since there are no such restrictions, all combinations are valid.

Therefore, the answer should be 240.

Wait, just to make sure, let me think of a smaller example. Suppose I have 2 shirts, 3 pants, and 4 hats. Then, according to this logic, the number of outfits would be 2*3*4=24. Let me verify.

Shirts: A, B. Pants: 1, 2, 3. Hats: 1, 2, 3, 4.

For shirt A:

- Pants 1: hats 1-4 (4)

- Pants 2: hats 1-4 (4)

- Pants 3: hats 1-4 (4)

Total for shirt A: 12

Similarly for shirt B: 12

Total: 24. Yep, that works.

So, scaling up, with 5, 6, 8, it's 5*6*8=240.

Therefore, I think that's correct.

Another check: if I have 1 shirt, 1 pair of pants, 1 hat, then the number of outfits is 1. Which is 1*1*1=1. Correct.

If I have 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants, 1 hat: 2*1*1=2. Which makes sense.

So, the formula holds.

Therefore, I can be confident that the answer is 240.

**Final Answer**
The number of possible outfits is \boxed{240}.

To determine the total number of possible outfits, we are given the following:

- **5 shirts**
- **6 pairs of pants**
- **8 hats**

Each outfit consists of **one shirt**, **one pair of pants**, and **one hat**. Since the choices are independent (i.e., the selection of a shirt does not affect the selection of pants or hats), we can apply the **multiplication principle** from combinatorics.

---

### Step-by-Step Breakdown:

1. **Choose a shirt**: There are 5 options.
2. **Choose a pair of pants**: For each shirt, there are 6 options.
3. **Choose a hat**: For each shirt-pants combination, there are 8 options.

So, the total number of possible outfits is:

$$
\text{Total Outfits} = (\text{Number of Shirts}) \times (\text{Number of Pants}) \times (\text{Number of Hats})
$$

$$
\text{Total Outfits} = 5 \times 6 \times 8
$$

$$
\text{Total Outfits} = 240
$$

### Final Answer:

\boxed{240}

Explanation:
Okay, so I need to solve the equation |5x - 1| = x + 3 and find the largest value of x that satisfies it. Hmm, absolute value equations can sometimes be tricky because they can split into two different cases. Let me recall how to handle them.

First, the absolute value |a| equals b means that either a = b or a = -b, right? But I also have to remember that b has to be non-negative because absolute value is always non-negative. So in this case, the right side of the equation is x + 3. That means x + 3 must be greater than or equal to zero. So maybe I should start by considering that condition.

Let me write down the equation again: |5x - 1| = x + 3.

So, first, I need to make sure that x + 3 ≥ 0. That would mean x ≥ -3. So any solution I find must satisfy x ≥ -3. Got it.

Now, moving on to solving the absolute value equation. The equation |5x - 1| = x + 3 can be split into two separate equations:

1) 5x - 1 = x + 3
2) -(5x - 1) = x + 3

Let me solve each equation separately and then check the solutions to make sure they satisfy the original equation and the condition x ≥ -3.

Starting with the first equation: 5x - 1 = x + 3.

Subtract x from both sides: 5x - x - 1 = 3 → 4x - 1 = 3.

Then add 1 to both sides: 4x = 4.

Divide both sides by 4: x = 1.

Okay, so x = 1 is a potential solution. Now let me check if this satisfies the original equation.

Left side: |5(1) - 1| = |5 - 1| = |4| = 4.

Right side: 1 + 3 = 4.

Yes, both sides are equal. So x = 1 is a valid solution.

Now moving on to the second equation: -(5x - 1) = x + 3.

Let me simplify the left side first. Distribute the negative sign: -5x + 1 = x + 3.

Now, let me solve for x. Subtract x from both sides: -5x - x + 1 = 3 → -6x + 1 = 3.

Subtract 1 from both sides: -6x = 2.

Divide both sides by -6: x = 2 / (-6) = -1/3.

So x = -1/3 is another potential solution. Let me check if this satisfies the original equation.

First, check if x ≥ -3. Since -1/3 is approximately -0.333, which is greater than -3, so that's okay.

Left side: |5*(-1/3) - 1| = |-5/3 - 1| = |-5/3 - 3/3| = |-8/3| = 8/3.

Right side: (-1/3) + 3 = (-1/3) + 9/3 = 8/3.

Yes, both sides are equal. So x = -1/3 is also a valid solution.

So the two solutions are x = 1 and x = -1/3. The question asks for the largest value of x that satisfies the equation. Comparing 1 and -1/3, clearly 1 is larger.

But wait, let me just make sure there are no other solutions or if I missed something.

The absolute value equation splits into two cases, and I solved both. Both solutions check out. Also, I considered the condition that x + 3 must be non-negative, which is satisfied by both solutions.

So, the largest value is 1.

But just to be thorough, let me think again. Sometimes when dealing with absolute values, there can be cases where the expressions inside the absolute value change sign, so maybe I should check the critical point where 5x - 1 = 0.

Solving 5x - 1 = 0 gives x = 1/5. So, the expression inside the absolute value, 5x - 1, is negative when x < 1/5 and positive when x > 1/5.

So, maybe I should consider splitting the problem into two cases based on the value of x relative to 1/5.

Case 1: x ≥ 1/5. In this case, |5x - 1| = 5x - 1. So the equation becomes 5x - 1 = x + 3. Which is the same as the first equation I solved earlier, leading to x = 1. Since 1 is greater than 1/5, this solution is valid.

Case 2: x < 1/5. In this case, |5x - 1| = -(5x - 1) = -5x + 1. So the equation becomes -5x + 1 = x + 3. Which is the same as the second equation I solved earlier, leading to x = -1/3. Since -1/3 is less than 1/5, this solution is valid.

Therefore, both solutions are valid, and the largest one is 1.

Alternatively, maybe I can graph both sides of the equation to visualize. The left side is an absolute value function, which V-shaped, and the right side is a straight line. The intersection points would be the solutions.

But since I already solved algebraically and checked, maybe that's redundant.

But just to confirm, let me think about possible mistakes. For example, when solving absolute value equations, sometimes people forget to check the solutions in the original equation. But I did check both solutions.

Another possible mistake is not considering the domain where the right-hand side is non-negative. However, I did consider that x + 3 ≥ 0, so x ≥ -3. Both solutions satisfy this.

So, I think my solutions are correct.

Therefore, the largest value of x is 1.

**Final Answer**
The largest value of $ x $ that satisfies the equation is \boxed{1}.

To solve the equation:

$$
|5x - 1| = x + 3
$$

we begin by recognizing that the **absolute value** of an expression is always **non-negative**, so the right-hand side of the equation must also be non-negative. That is:

$$
x + 3 \geq 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x \geq -3
$$

This gives us a **domain restriction** for any valid solution: $ x \geq -3 $.

---

### Step 1: Split the Absolute Value Equation

The equation $ |5x - 1| = x + 3 $ can be split into two cases based on the definition of absolute value:

1. $ 5x - 1 = x + 3 $
2. $ -(5x - 1) = x + 3 $

---

### Case 1: $ 5x - 1 = x + 3 $

Solve for $ x $:

$$
5x - 1 = x + 3 \\
5x - x = 3 + 1 \\
4x = 4 \\
x = 1
$$

Check if this satisfies the original equation:

- Left side: $ |5(1) - 1| = |4| = 4 $
- Right side: $ 1 + 3 = 4 $

✅ Valid solution.

---

### Case 2: $ -(5x - 1) = x + 3 $

Simplify the left side:

$$
-5x + 1 = x + 3 \\
-5x - x = 3 - 1 \\
-6x = 2 \\
x = -\frac{1}{3}
$$

Check if this satisfies the original equation:

- Left side: $ |5(-\frac{1}{3}) - 1| = |- \frac{5}{3} - 1| = |- \frac{8}{3}| = \frac{8}{3} $
- Right side: $ -\frac{1}{3} + 3 = \frac{8}{3} $

✅ Valid solution.

---

### Step 2: Consider the Domain

We already ensured that both solutions satisfy $ x \geq -3 $, so both are valid.

---

### Step 3: Determine the Largest Value

From the two solutions:

- $ x = 1 $
- $ x = -\frac{1}{3} $

The **largest** value is clearly:

$$
\boxed{1}
$$

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{1}
$$

Subtract x from both sides: 5x - x - 1 = 3 → 4x - 1 = 3.

Then add 1 to both sides: 4x = 4.

Divide both sides by 4: x = 1.

Okay, so x = 1 is a potential solution. Now let me check if this satisfies the original equation.

Left side: |5(1) - 1| = |5 - 1| = |4| = 4.

Right side: 1 + 3 = 4.

Yes, both sides are equal. So x = 1 is a valid solution.

Now moving on to the second equation: -(5x - 1) = x + 3.

Let me simplify the left side first. Distribute the negative sign: -5x + 1 = x + 3.

Now, let me solve for x. Subtract x from both sides: -5x - x + 1 = 3 → -6x + 1 = 3.

Subtract 1 from both sides: -6x = 2.

Divide both sides by -6: x = 2 / (-6) = -1/3.

So x = -1/3 is another potential solution. Let me check if this satisfies the original equation.

First, check if x ≥ -3. Since -1/3 is approximately -0.333, which is greater than -3, so that's okay.

Left side: |5*(-1/3) - 1| = |-5/3 - 1| = |-5/3 - 3/3| = |-8/3| = 8/3.

Right side: (-1/3) + 3 = (-1/3) + 9/3 = 8/3.

Yes, both sides are equal. So x = -1/3 is also a valid solution.

So the two solutions are x = 1 and x = -1/3. The question asks for the largest value of x that satisfies the equation. Comparing 1 and -1/3, clearly 1 is larger.

So, maybe I should consider splitting the problem into two cases based on the value of x relative to 1/5.

Case 1: x ≥ 1/5. In this case, |5x - 1| = 5x - 1. So the equation becomes 5x - 1 = x + 3. Which is the same as the first equation I solved earlier, leading to x = 1. Since 1 is greater than 1/5, this solution is valid.

Case 2: x < 1/5. In this case, |5x - 1| = -(5x - 1) = -5x + 1. So the equation becomes -5x + 1 = x + 3. Which is the same as the second equation I solved earlier, leading to x = -1/3. Since -1/3 is less than 1/5, this solution is valid.

Therefore, both solutions are valid, and the largest one is 1.

Alternatively, maybe I can graph both sides of the equation to visualize. The left side is an absolute value function, which V-shaped, and the right side is a straight line. The intersection points would be the solutions.

But since I already solved algebraically and checked, maybe that's redundant.

But just to confirm, let me think about possible mistakes. For example, when solving absolute value equations, sometimes people forget to check the solutions in the original equation. But I did check both solutions.

Another possible mistake is not considering the domain where the right-hand side is non-negative. However, I did consider that x + 3 ≥ 0, so x ≥ -3. Both solutions satisfy this.

So, I think my solutions are correct.

Therefore, the largest value of x is 1.

**Final Answer**
The largest value of $ x $ that satisfies the equation is \boxed{1}.

To solve the equation:

$$
|5x - 1| = x + 3
$$

we begin by recognizing that the **absolute value** of an expression is always **non-negative**, so the right-hand side of the equation must also be non-negative. That is:

$$
x + 3 \geq 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x \geq -3
$$

This gives us a **domain restriction** for any valid solution: $ x \geq -3 $.

---

### Step 1: Split the Absolute Value Equation

The equation $ |5x - 1| = x + 3 $ can be split into two cases based on the definition of absolute value:

1. $ 5x - 1 = x + 3 $
2. $ -(5x - 1) = x + 3 $

---

### Case 1: $ 5x - 1 = x + 3 $

Solve for $ x $:

$$
5x - 1 = x + 3 \\
5x - x = 3 + 1 \\
4x = 4 \\
x = 1
$$

Check if this satisfies the original equation:

- Left side: $ |5(1) - 1| = |4| = 4 $
- Right side: $ 1 + 3 = 4 $

✅ Valid solution.

---

### Case 2: $ -(5x - 1) = x + 3 $

Simplify the left side:

$$
-5x + 1 = x + 3 \\
-5x - x = 3 - 1 \\
-6x = 2 \\
x = -\frac{1}{3}
$$

Check if this satisfies the original equation:

- Left side: $ |5(-\frac{1}{3}) - 1| = |- \frac{5}{3} - 1| = |- \frac{8}{3}| = \frac{8}{3} $
- Right side: $ -\frac{1}{3} + 3 = \frac{8}{3} $

✅ Valid solution.

---

### Step 2: Consider the Domain

We already ensured that both solutions satisfy $ x \geq -3 $, so both are valid.

---

### Step 3: Determine the Largest Value

From the two solutions:

- $ x = 1 $
- $ x = -\frac{1}{3} $

The **largest** value is clearly:

$$
\boxed{1}
$$

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{1}
$$

Solution:
We can split the expression $|5x-1|=x+3$ into two separate cases. In the first case, \begin{align*} 5x-1&=x+3
\\\Rightarrow \qquad 4x&=4
\\\Rightarrow \qquad x&=1
\end{align*}If we plug this value of $x$ back into the original equation in order to check our answer, we see that $|5(1)-1|=1+3$ or $4=4$. Since this is true, we can accept $x=1$ as a valid solution.

In the second case, \begin{align*} 5x-1&=-(x+3)
\\ 5x-1&=-x-3
\\\Rightarrow \qquad 6x&=-2
\\\Rightarrow \qquad x&=-\frac13.
\end{align*}If we plug $-\frac13$ back into the initial equation, we get that $\left|5\left(-\frac13\right)-1\right|=-\frac13+3$, which simplifies to $\left|-\frac{8}{3}\right|=\frac{8}{3}$, or $\frac{8}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$. Since this is also a true statement, we can accept $x=-\frac13$ as a valid solution as well. Since both $x=1$ and $x=-\frac13$ are possible values of $x$, the final answer is the larger of the two: $x=\boxed{1}$.


Explanation:
Okay, so there's this figure skater who starts facing north, and she begins to spin to her right. She spins a total of 2250 degrees. The question is asking which direction she ends up facing after that spin. Alright, let me think through this step by step.

First, I know that when dealing with directions and rotations, it's helpful to remember that a full circle is 360 degrees. So, if someone spins around multiple times, we can figure out how many full rotations they've made and then determine the remaining degrees to find the final direction.

The skater is spinning to her right. Since she starts facing north, spinning to her right would mean she's rotating clockwise. Let me confirm that: if you're facing north and turn right, you're turning towards east, right? So clockwise direction. So, clockwise rotation.

Now, the total degrees she spins is 2250. Let me figure out how many full circles that is. To do that, I can divide 2250 by 360. Let me calculate that.

First, 360 times 6 is 2160. Then, 2250 minus 2160 is 90. So, 2250 degrees is equal to 6 full rotations (which is 6*360=2160 degrees) plus an additional 90 degrees. So, she spins 6 full circles and then 90 degrees more.

Since each full rotation brings her back to the original direction, the 6 full rotations don't affect her final direction. So, we just need to figure out what direction she ends up facing after rotating 90 degrees clockwise from her starting position.

Starting direction is north. Rotating 90 degrees clockwise from north: let's visualize. North, then turning right (clockwise) 90 degrees would point her to the east. Wait, is that right? Let me think again. If you face north and turn right (clockwise) 90 degrees, you end up facing east. Then another 90 degrees would be south, then west, then back to north. So yes, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east.

But wait, hold on. Let me make sure. Let me think of the compass directions. North is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is 180, west is 270, and back to north at 360. So, if you start at north (0 degrees) and add 90 degrees, you get 90 degrees, which is east. So yes, that seems correct.

Therefore, after spinning 2250 degrees, which is equivalent to 90 degrees clockwise, she would be facing east. Wait, but let me check again. Wait, 2250 divided by 360. Let me do that division again to make sure I didn't make a mistake.

So 360*6 is 2160. 2250 - 2160 is 90. So yes, 6 full rotations and 90 degrees. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, the answer should be east?

Wait, but let me check again. Maybe I made a mistake in the direction. Let me think again. If she spins to her right, which is clockwise. Starting at north, clockwise rotation. So:

- 0 degrees: North
- 90 degrees: East
- 180 degrees: South
- 270 degrees: West
- 360 degrees: North again.

So, yes, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, if she spins 90 degrees, she ends up facing east. Therefore, the answer is east?

But wait, let me check if there's another way to think about this. Maybe I need to consider that 2250 degrees is more than 6 full circles. Wait, 6*360 is 2160, as before. 2250-2160=90. So, 90 degrees. So, same conclusion.

Alternatively, maybe I can compute 2250 divided by 360 and find the remainder. Let me do that. 2250 divided by 360. Let me compute 2250 / 360.

Well, 360*6=2160, as before. 2250-2160=90. So the remainder is 90. Therefore, the total rotation is equivalent to 90 degrees. So, same as before.

Therefore, she ends up facing east. Wait, but let me check again. Maybe I need to think about the direction again. If she starts facing north, and turns 90 degrees to the right, which is clockwise, then yes, east. So, answer is east?

But wait, let me check with another approach. Let me think about how many 90-degree turns are in 2250 degrees. Since each 90 degrees is a quarter turn. So 2250 divided by 90 is 25. So, 25 quarter turns. Each quarter turn is 90 degrees. So, 25 quarter turns. Now, each full circle is 4 quarter turns. So, 25 divided by 4 is 6 with a remainder of 1. So, 6 full circles (which brings her back to north) and 1 more quarter turn. Which is 90 degrees, so again, same as before. So, 1 quarter turn clockwise from north is east. Therefore, same answer.

Therefore, seems like the answer is east. But wait, let me check once more. Maybe I made a mistake in the direction of rotation? Let me think again. If she is facing north and spins to her right, that is clockwise. So, if you imagine facing north, your right is east. So, turning right would be clockwise. So, yes, that's correct.

Alternatively, if you think of the standard compass directions, clockwise rotation would be the direction of the hands of a clock. So, starting at north, moving clockwise, the order is north, east, south, west, north... So, yes, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. Wait, but let me check if there's a possibility that the question is considering a different direction? For example, sometimes in math, angles can be measured in different ways, but in this case, since it's a figure skater spinning to her right, it's definitely a clockwise rotation.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in the number of degrees? Let me check the calculation again. 2250 divided by 360. Let me compute 2250 divided by 360. Let me do decimal division. 360 goes into 2250 how many times?

Well, 360*6=2160, as before. 2250-2160=90. So, 2250=360*6 + 90. Therefore, remainder 90. So, 90 degrees. So, that's correct.

Alternatively, maybe I can think of 2250 degrees as 2250 divided by 360. Let me compute 2250 / 360. Let me divide numerator and denominator by 10: 225 / 36. Divide numerator and denominator by 9: 25 / 4. Which is 6.25. So, 6.25 rotations. Which is 6 full rotations plus 0.25 of a rotation. 0.25 of a rotation is 90 degrees. So, same result. Therefore, 90 degrees. So, again, same conclusion.

Therefore, the skater ends up facing east. Wait, but let me check once more. Maybe I need to think about the direction again. If she starts at north, and turns 90 degrees clockwise, she is facing east. So, yes. So, answer is east. Therefore, the answer should be east. But let me check if there's any chance that the answer is different. Maybe I made a mistake in the remainder?

Wait, 2250 divided by 360. Let me check with another method. Let me compute 360*6=2160. 2250-2160=90. So, remainder 90. So, yes. So, 90 degrees. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, answer is east.

But wait, hold on. Wait, maybe the question is in radians? No, the question says 2250 degrees, so it's definitely degrees. So, no problem.

Alternatively, maybe the question is considering that spinning to the right is counterclockwise? Wait, no. If you're facing north and turn right, that's clockwise. If you turn left, that's counterclockwise. So, spinning to her right is clockwise. So, that's correct.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in the initial direction? The skater is facing north when she begins to spin to her right. So, starting direction is north. So, yes.

Alternatively, maybe I need to think about the total rotation. Let me think again. If she spins 2250 degrees clockwise, starting from north. Let me think of the directions step by step.

Starting at north. Let me think of how many degrees she turns:

After 0 degrees: North

After 90 degrees: East

After 180 degrees: South

After 270 degrees: West

After 360 degrees: North again.

So, each 90 degrees is a quarter turn. So, if she spins 2250 degrees, which is 2250 / 90 = 25 quarter turns. So, 25 quarter turns. Each full circle is 4 quarter turns, so 25 divided by 4 is 6 with a remainder of 1. So, 6 full circles (which brings her back to north) and 1 more quarter turn. So, 1 quarter turn clockwise from north is east. Therefore, same answer.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. Wait, but let me check once more. Maybe I need to think of the direction as a number. Let me assign numbers to directions. Let me think of north as 0 degrees, east as 90, south as 180, west as 270, and then back to north at 360. So, if we add 2250 degrees to the starting direction (which is 0 degrees), we get 2250 degrees. But since directions repeat every 360 degrees, we can subtract multiples of 360 to find the equivalent angle.

So, 2250 divided by 360 is 6.25, as before. So, 6*360=2160. 2250-2160=90. So, the equivalent angle is 90 degrees. So, 90 degrees from north is east. Therefore, answer is east.

Alternatively, if I think of the direction as a number, starting at 0 (north), adding 90 degrees, which is east. So, yes.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. Wait, but let me check if there's any chance that the answer is south or something else. Wait, 90 degrees is east. If it was 180, it would be south. 270 would be west. So, 90 is east. So, that's correct.

Alternatively, maybe I need to think about the direction in terms of modulo 360. So, 2250 mod 360. Let me compute that. 2250 divided by 360 is 6 with remainder 90. So, 2250 mod 360 is 90. So, 90 degrees. So, same as before.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. Therefore, the skater is facing east when she finishes her spin.

But wait, hold on. Wait, I just thought of something. Maybe the question is considering that spinning to the right is counterclockwise? Wait, no. If you're facing north and turn right, you're turning towards east, which is clockwise. If you turn left, you're turning towards west, which is counterclockwise. So, spinning to the right is clockwise. So, that's correct.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in the way the rotation is applied? For example, if she spins 2250 degrees to her right, does that mean she spins 2250 degrees in the clockwise direction? Yes, that's what it means. So, yes.

Alternatively, maybe there's a trick here. Let me think again. Let me check with another example. Suppose she spins 90 degrees, she faces east. 180 degrees, south. 270 degrees, west. 360 degrees, back to north. So, 2250 degrees. Let me think of 2250 as 6*360 + 90. So, same as before. So, 90 degrees. So, east. Therefore, answer is east.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in the initial direction? The skater is facing north when she begins to spin. So, starting direction is north. So, yes.

Alternatively, maybe I need to think about the direction as a vector? For example, if you have a coordinate system where north is positive y-axis, east is positive x-axis. Then, rotating clockwise by 90 degrees would take the direction from north (0 degrees) to east (90 degrees). So, yes.

Alternatively, maybe I can think of the rotation in terms of the unit circle. In standard position, angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis (east). But in this case, the skater is facing north, which would correspond to the positive y-axis. So, if we consider the standard coordinate system, north is 90 degrees from the positive x-axis. But when rotating clockwise, it's different.

Wait, maybe this is complicating things. Let me think again. If I consider the skater's initial direction as north, and she turns clockwise, then each 90 degrees is a quarter turn. So, as before, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. So, regardless of coordinate systems, that's the direction.

Alternatively, if I use the standard mathematical angle measurement, which is counterclockwise from the positive x-axis (east). So, if the skater is facing north, that would be 90 degrees in standard position. If she turns clockwise, that would be decreasing the angle. So, turning clockwise by 90 degrees would take her to 90 - 90 = 0 degrees, which is east. So, that's consistent. Therefore, yes, 0 degrees is east. Therefore, answer is east.

Therefore, I think I've verified this multiple times. The answer should be east. Therefore, the skater is facing east when she finishes her spin.

**Final Answer**
\boxed{east}

To determine the final direction the figure skater is facing after spinning 2250 degrees to her right, we need to analyze the rotation in terms of full circles and the remaining degrees.

---

### Step 1: Understand the Rotation Direction

The skater starts facing **north** and spins **to her right**, which means she is rotating **clockwise**. In a standard compass, clockwise rotation from north proceeds as follows:

- **0°** → North
- **90°** → East
- **180°** → South
- **270°** → West
- **360°** → North (full circle)

---

### Step 2: Determine the Number of Full Rotations

We are given that the skater spins **2250 degrees**. To find how many full rotations this is, we divide by 360 (since a full circle is 360 degrees):

$$
2250 \div 360 = 6 \text{ full rotations with a remainder of } 90 \text{ degrees}
$$

This means the skater completes **6 full circles** (which bring her back to the original direction, **north**) and then an additional **90 degrees** of rotation.

---

### Step 3: Determine the Final Direction

Since the 6 full rotations don't affect the final direction, we only need to consider the **remaining 90 degrees** of clockwise rotation from **north**:

- **0°** → North
- **90°** → East

So, after rotating **90 degrees clockwise** from north, the skater is facing **east**.

### Final Answer

\boxed{east}

Explanation:
Okay, so there's this figure skater who starts facing north, and she begins to spin to her right. She spins a total of 2250 degrees. The question is asking which direction she ends up facing after that spin. Alright, let me think through this step by step.

First, I know that when dealing with directions and rotations, it's helpful to remember that a full circle is 360 degrees. So, if someone spins around multiple times, we can figure out how many full rotations they've made and then determine the remaining degrees to find the final direction.

The skater is spinning to her right. Since she starts facing north, spinning to her right would mean she's rotating clockwise. Let me confirm that: if you're facing north and turn right, you're turning towards east, right? So clockwise direction. So, clockwise rotation.

Now, the total degrees she spins is 2250. Let me figure out how many full circles that is. To do that, I can divide 2250 by 360. Let me calculate that.

First, 360 times 6 is 2160. Then, 2250 minus 2160 is 90. So, 2250 degrees is equal to 6 full rotations (which is 6*360=2160 degrees) plus an additional 90 degrees. So, she spins 6 full circles and then 90 degrees more.

Since each full rotation brings her back to the original direction, the 6 full rotations don't affect her final direction. So, we just need to figure out what direction she ends up facing after rotating 90 degrees clockwise from her starting position.

Starting direction is north. Rotating 90 degrees clockwise from north: let's visualize. North, then turning right (clockwise) 90 degrees would point her to the east. Wait, is that right? Let me think again. If you face north and turn right (clockwise) 90 degrees, you end up facing east. Then another 90 degrees would be south, then west, then back to north. So yes, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east.

But wait, hold on. Let me make sure. Let me think of the compass directions. North is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is 180, west is 270, and back to north at 360. So, if you start at north (0 degrees) and add 90 degrees, you get 90 degrees, which is east. So yes, that seems correct.

Therefore, after spinning 2250 degrees, which is equivalent to 90 degrees clockwise, she would be facing east. Wait, but let me check again. Wait, 2250 divided by 360. Let me do that division again to make sure I didn't make a mistake.

So 360*6 is 2160. 2250 - 2160 is 90. So yes, 6 full rotations and 90 degrees. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, the answer should be east?

Wait, but let me check again. Maybe I made a mistake in the direction. Let me think again. If she spins to her right, which is clockwise. Starting at north, clockwise rotation. So:

- 0 degrees: North
- 90 degrees: East
- 180 degrees: South
- 270 degrees: West
- 360 degrees: North again.

So, yes, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, if she spins 90 degrees, she ends up facing east. Therefore, the answer is east?

But wait, let me check if there's another way to think about this. Maybe I need to consider that 2250 degrees is more than 6 full circles. Wait, 6*360 is 2160, as before. 2250-2160=90. So, 90 degrees. So, same conclusion.

Alternatively, maybe I can compute 2250 divided by 360 and find the remainder. Let me do that. 2250 divided by 360. Let me compute 2250 / 360.

Well, 360*6=2160, as before. 2250-2160=90. So the remainder is 90. Therefore, the total rotation is equivalent to 90 degrees. So, same as before.

Therefore, she ends up facing east. Wait, but let me check again. Maybe I need to think about the direction again. If she starts facing north, and turns 90 degrees to the right, which is clockwise, then yes, east. So, answer is east?

But wait, let me check with another approach. Let me think about how many 90-degree turns are in 2250 degrees. Since each 90 degrees is a quarter turn. So 2250 divided by 90 is 25. So, 25 quarter turns. Each quarter turn is 90 degrees. So, 25 quarter turns. Now, each full circle is 4 quarter turns. So, 25 divided by 4 is 6 with a remainder of 1. So, 6 full circles (which brings her back to north) and 1 more quarter turn. Which is 90 degrees, so again, same as before. So, 1 quarter turn clockwise from north is east. Therefore, same answer.

Therefore, seems like the answer is east. But wait, let me check once more. Maybe I made a mistake in the direction of rotation? Let me think again. If she is facing north and spins to her right, that is clockwise. So, if you imagine facing north, your right is east. So, turning right would be clockwise. So, yes, that's correct.

Alternatively, if you think of the standard compass directions, clockwise rotation would be the direction of the hands of a clock. So, starting at north, moving clockwise, the order is north, east, south, west, north... So, yes, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. Wait, but let me check if there's a possibility that the question is considering a different direction? For example, sometimes in math, angles can be measured in different ways, but in this case, since it's a figure skater spinning to her right, it's definitely a clockwise rotation.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in the number of degrees? Let me check the calculation again. 2250 divided by 360. Let me compute 2250 divided by 360. Let me do decimal division. 360 goes into 2250 how many times?

Well, 360*6=2160, as before. 2250-2160=90. So, 2250=360*6 + 90. Therefore, remainder 90. So, 90 degrees. So, that's correct.

Alternatively, maybe I can think of 2250 degrees as 2250 divided by 360. Let me compute 2250 / 360. Let me divide numerator and denominator by 10: 225 / 36. Divide numerator and denominator by 9: 25 / 4. Which is 6.25. So, 6.25 rotations. Which is 6 full rotations plus 0.25 of a rotation. 0.25 of a rotation is 90 degrees. So, same result. Therefore, 90 degrees. So, again, same conclusion.

Therefore, the skater ends up facing east. Wait, but let me check once more. Maybe I need to think about the direction again. If she starts at north, and turns 90 degrees clockwise, she is facing east. So, yes. So, answer is east. Therefore, the answer should be east. But let me check if there's any chance that the answer is different. Maybe I made a mistake in the remainder?

Wait, 2250 divided by 360. Let me check with another method. Let me compute 360*6=2160. 2250-2160=90. So, remainder 90. So, yes. So, 90 degrees. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, answer is east.

But wait, hold on. Wait, maybe the question is in radians? No, the question says 2250 degrees, so it's definitely degrees. So, no problem.

Alternatively, maybe the question is considering that spinning to the right is counterclockwise? Wait, no. If you're facing north and turn right, that's clockwise. If you turn left, that's counterclockwise. So, spinning to her right is clockwise. So, that's correct.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in the initial direction? The skater is facing north when she begins to spin to her right. So, starting direction is north. So, yes.

Alternatively, maybe I need to think about the total rotation. Let me think again. If she spins 2250 degrees clockwise, starting from north. Let me think of the directions step by step.

Starting at north. Let me think of how many degrees she turns:

After 0 degrees: North

After 90 degrees: East

After 180 degrees: South

After 270 degrees: West

After 360 degrees: North again.

So, each 90 degrees is a quarter turn. So, if she spins 2250 degrees, which is 2250 / 90 = 25 quarter turns. So, 25 quarter turns. Each full circle is 4 quarter turns, so 25 divided by 4 is 6 with a remainder of 1. So, 6 full circles (which brings her back to north) and 1 more quarter turn. So, 1 quarter turn clockwise from north is east. Therefore, same answer.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. Wait, but let me check once more. Maybe I need to think of the direction as a number. Let me assign numbers to directions. Let me think of north as 0 degrees, east as 90, south as 180, west as 270, and then back to north at 360. So, if we add 2250 degrees to the starting direction (which is 0 degrees), we get 2250 degrees. But since directions repeat every 360 degrees, we can subtract multiples of 360 to find the equivalent angle.

So, 2250 divided by 360 is 6.25, as before. So, 6*360=2160. 2250-2160=90. So, the equivalent angle is 90 degrees. So, 90 degrees from north is east. Therefore, answer is east.

Alternatively, if I think of the direction as a number, starting at 0 (north), adding 90 degrees, which is east. So, yes.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. Wait, but let me check if there's any chance that the answer is south or something else. Wait, 90 degrees is east. If it was 180, it would be south. 270 would be west. So, 90 is east. So, that's correct.

Alternatively, maybe I need to think about the direction in terms of modulo 360. So, 2250 mod 360. Let me compute that. 2250 divided by 360 is 6 with remainder 90. So, 2250 mod 360 is 90. So, 90 degrees. So, same as before.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. Therefore, the skater is facing east when she finishes her spin.

But wait, hold on. Wait, I just thought of something. Maybe the question is considering that spinning to the right is counterclockwise? Wait, no. If you're facing north and turn right, you're turning towards east, which is clockwise. If you turn left, you're turning towards west, which is counterclockwise. So, spinning to the right is clockwise. So, that's correct.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in the way the rotation is applied? For example, if she spins 2250 degrees to her right, does that mean she spins 2250 degrees in the clockwise direction? Yes, that's what it means. So, yes.

Alternatively, maybe there's a trick here. Let me think again. Let me check with another example. Suppose she spins 90 degrees, she faces east. 180 degrees, south. 270 degrees, west. 360 degrees, back to north. So, 2250 degrees. Let me think of 2250 as 6*360 + 90. So, same as before. So, 90 degrees. So, east. Therefore, answer is east.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in the initial direction? The skater is facing north when she begins to spin. So, starting direction is north. So, yes.

Alternatively, maybe I need to think about the direction as a vector? For example, if you have a coordinate system where north is positive y-axis, east is positive x-axis. Then, rotating clockwise by 90 degrees would take the direction from north (0 degrees) to east (90 degrees). So, yes.

Alternatively, maybe I can think of the rotation in terms of the unit circle. In standard position, angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis (east). But in this case, the skater is facing north, which would correspond to the positive y-axis. So, if we consider the standard coordinate system, north is 90 degrees from the positive x-axis. But when rotating clockwise, it's different.

Wait, maybe this is complicating things. Let me think again. If I consider the skater's initial direction as north, and she turns clockwise, then each 90 degrees is a quarter turn. So, as before, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. So, regardless of coordinate systems, that's the direction.

Alternatively, if I use the standard mathematical angle measurement, which is counterclockwise from the positive x-axis (east). So, if the skater is facing north, that would be 90 degrees in standard position. If she turns clockwise, that would be decreasing the angle. So, turning clockwise by 90 degrees would take her to 90 - 90 = 0 degrees, which is east. So, that's consistent. Therefore, yes, 0 degrees is east. Therefore, answer is east.

Therefore, I think I've verified this multiple times. The answer should be east. Therefore, the skater is facing east when she finishes her spin.

**Final Answer**
\boxed{east}

To determine the final direction the figure skater is facing after spinning 2250 degrees to her right, we need to analyze the rotation in terms of full circles and the remaining degrees.

### Step 1: Understand the Rotation Direction

The skater starts facing **north** and spins **to her right**, which means she is rotating **clockwise**. In a standard compass, clockwise rotation from north proceeds as follows:

- **0°** → North
- **90°** → East
- **180°** → South
- **270°** → West
- **360°** → North (full circle)

---

### Step 2: Determine the Number of Full Rotations

We are given that the skater spins **2250 degrees**. To find how many full rotations this is, we divide by 360 (since a full circle is 360 degrees):

$$
2250 \div 360 = 6 \text{ full rotations with a remainder of } 90 \text{ degrees}
$$

This means the skater completes **6 full circles** (which bring her back to the original direction, **north**) and then an additional **90 degrees** of rotation.

---

### Step 3: Determine the Final Direction

Since the 6 full rotations don't affect the final direction, we only need to consider the **remaining 90 degrees** of clockwise rotation from **north**:

- **0°** → North
- **90°** → East

So, after rotating **90 degrees clockwise** from north, the skater is facing **east**.

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{east}
$$

Solution: Each full circle is 360 degrees.  Dividing 360 into 2250 gives a quotient of 6 with a remainder of 90.  So, she spins 90 degrees to her right past north, which leaves her facing $\boxed{\text{east}}$.
