9^8x=27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Make both sides a power of 3 27=3^3 and 9=3^2 so \[\huge (3^{2})^{8x}=3^{3}\] and then you can equate the exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it (9^8)x or 9^8x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the correct term to make each side a base of 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct term is 'base'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x would equal .1875? Thanks for the help guys.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is correct for 9^(8x) = 27
