Question

Solve the exponential equation
3^2x=27

Answer 1

hint : \(27 = 3\times 3 \times 3 = 3^3\)

Answer 2

x=3/2

Answer 3

Can you explain it step by step? I'm confused on how you actually do this

Answer 4

9*3

Answer 5

see, as 3^2x = 27, we can see that some number when multiplied by two, and used as a power on 3 give you 27. So you can also write it as
3^2x = 3^3 (as 3*3*3 = 27)
Now you can simply use the equation 2x = 3, as you cancelled out the base, because the answer would still remain same. So you get x = 3/2
