9(3^3x+1)=1/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the question ? Is we r here to solve the value of x @meghana12345

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YUP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WE HAVE TO SOLVE FOR X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All right , then it's very easy . Do you need hint or the solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ACTUALLY HINT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok . Then at the very first , you have to separate all the other stuffs from x . then on the left hand side there will be only x . Can you do this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HOW ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DONT GET IT

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

Just checking, is the equation \[9(3^{x + 1}) = \frac{1}{9}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO ITS 9(^3x+1)=1/9X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I WROTE THE QUESTION A BIT WRONG

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I FORGOT TO PUT THE X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SORRY

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so \[9^{3x+1} = \frac{1}{9^x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9(3^3x+1)=1/9X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THATS THE WRITE QUESTION

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am totally confused guys >< . What is the actual question ? I give up . Sorry

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok \[9(3^{3x +1}) = \frac{1}{9^x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PLEASE TYPE FAST

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... so to solve this you will need to rewrite the 9's as powers of 3... and without the freactions... so you get \[3^2(2^{3x + 1}) = (3^2)^{-x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES AFTER THAT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I DID TILL THERE

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

damn should read \[3^2(3^{3x + 1}) = (3^2)^{-x}\] now just apply the index laws for multiplicaion and power of a power then you can solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WHAAT??????

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so on the left hand side use the law for multiplication of the same base on th right you need power of a power

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well you only wanted a hint...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PLEASE TELLME THE SOLUTION

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PLEASE TYPE IT FAST

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

sorry I won't Open Study is about helping understanding the laws \[x^a \times x^b= x^{a + b}\] this is for the left side power of a power on the right \[(x^a)^b = x^{a \times b}\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

once you have it simplified you can equate the powers and solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the answer thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no please answer my other question
