Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"27%5E%284x%29+=+9\"$ Replace: $\"27+=+3%5E3\"$ and $\"9+=+3%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%5E3%29%5E%284x%29+=+3%5E2\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%5E%2812x%29+=+3%5E2\"$ The bases are equal so the exponents must be equal.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12x+=+2\"$ Divide by 12.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+2%2F12\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+1%2F6\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
