Hint: rewrite 9 as 3^2 and 27 as 3^3
OpenStudy (advert):
Then you can say
9^(x - 2) = 27
(3^2)^(x - 2) = 3^3
3^(2(x-2)) = 3^3
OpenStudy (advert):
would the answer be...
x=2.5?
OpenStudy (advert):
get it
OpenStudy (advert):
i just tested you its not 2.5

Check:
9^(x - 2) = 27
9^(2.5 - 2) = 27 ... plug in the *possible* solution x = 2.5
9^(0.5) = 27
3 = 27
The last equation is false, so x = 2.5 is NOT the answer
OpenStudy (advert):
the bases are the same in 3^(2(x-2)) = 3^3
so the exponents are the same: 2(x-2) = 3
OpenStudy (antonialynn):
