anonymous · Answer

$$9 = \sqrt{3}^{4x+6}$$

I already got my solution which is x=-1/2, which is part 1. I only need part 2 which i don't know how to explain

This may be helpful language: Exploit the BASE portion of each side.

$9 = 3^{2}$ and $\sqrt{3} = 3^{1/2}$

Rewriting, we have 2 = (1/2)*(4x+6) = 2x+3
