Question

If \(a^{2x+1} = a^{11}\) where \(a > 0\) and \(a \neq 1\), find x.

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

5

Since the bases are equal (\(a > 0\) and \(a \neq 1\)), the exponents must be equal.

So \(2x + 1 = 11\).

Solving, \(2x = 10\), so \(x = 5\).
