If the distances between each pair of consecutive ticks are equal, we can write: 2^11 - 2^10 = x - 2^11
We must solve this equation for x....

Add 2^11 to both sides: 2^11 + 2^11 - 2^10 = x
Combine the two 2^11's to get: 2(2^11) - 2^10 = x
Rewrite 2 as 2^1 to get: (2^1)(2^11) - 2^10 = x
Simplify to get: 2^12 - 2^10 = x
Factor our 2^10 to get: 2^10(2^2 - 1) = x
Evaluate to get: 2^10(4 - 1) = x
Simplify to get: 2^10(3) = x

Answer: B

Cheers,
Brent

The space between each pair of consecutive ticks is 2^11 - 2^10, so x is:

[2^11 + (2^11 - 2^10)]

2^10(2 + 2 - 1) = 2^10 x 3

Answer: B

=>

The distance between each pair of consecutive ticks is \(2^{11} – 2^{10} = 2*2^{10} – 2^{10} = 2^{10}.\)
Thus, \(x = 2^{11} + 2^{10} = 2*2^{10} + 2^{10} = 3(2^{10})\).

Therefore, the answer is B.
Answer: B
