1958 AHSME Problems/Problem 20

Problem

If $4^x - 4^{x - 1} = 24$, then $(2x)^x$ equals:

$\textbf{(A)}\ 5\sqrt{5}\qquad  \textbf{(B)}\ \sqrt{5}\qquad  \textbf{(C)}\ 25\sqrt{5}\qquad  \textbf{(D)}\ 125\qquad  \textbf{(E)}\ 25$

Solution

We could rewrite $4ˆx - 4ˆ(x-1) = 24$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) as $$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)\fbox{}$
