messed up on the last one... Solve for x and check. Enter only a number. 3(base 2x) = 27

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The problem is \[\Large 3_{2x}=27\] ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I DONT KNOW

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 2x is up high instead of down low. Maybe I'm writing it wrong.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large 3^{2x}=27\] ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, it looks like that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large 3^{2x}=27\] \[\Large 3^{2x}=3^3\] Since the bases are equal (to 3), the exponents are equal So \[\Large 2x = 3\]Now solve for x \[\Large 2x = 3\] \[\Large x = \frac{3}{2}\]
