Question

Solve the exponential equation. 9^(2x) = 27

Answer 1

Hey... simplify it as powers of 3 on both sides.
Compare the powers on both sides to get the answer.

Answer 2

how do you compare the powers?

Answer 3

what they mean is if bases are same then you can equate the exponents
\[b^{m} = b^{n} \rightarrow m = n\]

Answer 4

but isnt there only one expo?

Answer 5

Here we can compare powers just because the bases are 3 on both sides...

Answer 6

Oh so 3^2x=9?

Answer 7

well 9 and 27 are both powers of 3 ............. 3^2 and 3^3

Answer 8

Ohhh
