      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3^x -4 =2 .
 3^x = 6
 .
 take  log  both  sides
 .
 log(3^x) =log 6
 .
 or  ,,,,,,x log 3 = log 6
 .
 x=  log 6 / log 3
 .
 x= 1.631
 .
 check,,,,,,3^(1.631) =6,,,,,ok
 .
 .
 if  problem  was ,,,,,3^(x-4) = 2
 .
 (x-4) log 3 =  log 2
 .
 x-4 = log2/log3 = .631
 .
 x= 4.631
 .
 check
 3^(4.631-4) =2,,,,, ok
