See equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1/9=27^{2x}\]

Parth (parthkohli):

Get the bases equal. For example, \(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow {1 \over 9} = {1 \over 3^2} = 3^{-2} }\) And. \(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow 27^{2x} = (3^3)^{2x} = 3^{6x} }\) Can you continue now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2/6?

@ParthKohli

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This one is a bit tougher

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, adn there are more tough ones coming up >_<

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow -2 = 6x }\) \(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow x = {-1 \over 3} }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like Parth said \[1/9 = 1/3^{2} = 3^{-2}\]

Parth (parthkohli):

Do you want to know an interesting property?

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow a^m = a^n \Longleftrightarrow m = n }\)

Parth (parthkohli):

i.e, when the bases are equal in any given equation, then you can equate the exponents.

I see, thank you all :)
