I've been in the hospital with a freak blood clot and now im behind and got stuff due so i'm calling out for some help. I will reward whom ever helps with rep(since im broke as hell its all i can)

1. Solve the equation 8^x+2=(1/2)^x-11

2.Simplify each of the following. Assume that all variables represent positive real numbers.
A. 8x^-2(y^3 z^-3)^-3 B. (4d^1/2 + 1)(3d^1/2 - 2)
(2x)^-4 y
c. 15x^-2(y^-1 z^2)^-3
(5x)^-1 y^2

Sorry about useing the ^... just think Ti-83 lol thanks for any help.
