Solve for x and state any restrictions. 0° ≤ x ≤ 360°

------------------
Sub z for 3^tan(x)
-----
27z^2 - 242z - 9 = 0
(27z + 1)*(z - 9) = 0
---
z = 9
3^tan(x) = 9
tan(X) = 2
====================
27z + 1 = 0
x = -1/27
tan(x) = -1/27

            I came to fix error in the post by  Alan.


Sub z for 3^tan(x)
-----

27z^2 - 242z - 9 = 0
(27z + 1)*(z - 9) = 0

---

z = 9
3^tan(x) = 9
tan(X) = 2

====================

27z + 1 = 0
z = -1/27
= -1/27

There is no solution:  the left side is  ALWAYS  positive,  while the right side is  NEGATIVE.
==========================

ANSWER. x = arctan(2).


Solved.
