Here are the solutions to your problems:

  1. Solve for xx: The given equation is: 4x+1×22x−3=5124^{x+1} \times 2^{2x-3} = 512
  1. Express all terms with the same base, which is 2.

    Since $4 = 2^2$ and $512 = 2^9$, substitute these into the equation:
    $$
    (2^2)^{x+1} \times 2^{2x-3} = 2^9
    $$
    
  2. Apply the exponent rule (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{mn}.

    $$
    2^{2(x+1)} \times 2^{2x-3} = 2^9
    $$
    $$
    2^{2x+2} \times 2^{2x-3} = 2^9
    $$
    
  3. Apply the exponent rule am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}.

    $$
    2^{(2x+2) + (2x-3)} = 2^9
    $$
    $$
    2^{4x-1} = 2^9
    $$
    
  4. Since the bases are equal, equate the exponents.

    $$
    4x-1 = 9
    $$
    
  5. Solve for xx.

    $$
    4x = 9 + 1
    $$
    $$
    4x = 10
    $$
    $$
    x = \frac{10}{4}
    $$
    $$
    x = \frac{5}{2}
    $$
    The value of $x$ is $\boxed{\text{2.5}}$.
    

    2. Use logarithms to evaluate: Let Y=2.735×0.08460.693Y = \frac{2.735 \times 0.0846}{0.693}.

  6. Take the logarithm (base 10) of both sides.

    $$
    \log Y = \log \left( \frac{2.735 \times 0.0846}{0.693} \right)
    $$
    
  7. Apply the logarithm properties log⁡(AB)=log⁡A+log⁡B\log(AB) = \log A + \log B and log⁡(AC)=log⁡A−log⁡C\log\left(\frac{A}{C}\right) = \log A - \log C.

    $$
    \log Y = \log(2.735) + \log(0.0846) - \log(0.693)
    $$
    
  8. Find the logarithm of each number using a calculator or tables.

    $$
    \log(2.735) \approx 0.4376
    $$
    $$
    \log(0.0846) \approx -1.0726 \quad (\text{or } \bar{2}.9274)
    $$
    $$
    \log(0.693) \approx -0.1593 \quad (\text{or } \bar{1}.8407)
    $$
    
  9. Substitute these values into the equation for log⁡Y\log Y.

    $$
    \log Y = 0.4376 + (-1.0726) - (-0.1593)
    $$
    $$
    \log Y = 0.4376 - 1.0726 + 0.1593
    $$
    $$
    \log Y = -0.6350 + 0.1593
    $$
    $$
    \log Y = -0.4757
    $$
    
  10. Find the antilogarithm of −0.4757-0.4757.

    $$
    Y = 10^{-0.4757}
    $$
    $$
    Y \approx 0.3344
    $$
    The evaluated value is $\boxed{\text{0.3344}}$.
