You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Do you mean 1.+9%5Ex-1=27%5Ex+ or do you mean
2.+9%5E%28x-1%29=27%5Ex+?

Eq. 1 does not have a solution.
The curves will never intersect.

Eq. 2,
9%5E%28x-1%29=27%5Ex
%283%5E2%29%5E%28x-1%29=%283%5E3%29%5Ex
3%5E%282%28x-1%29%29=3%5E%283x%29
2%28x-1%29=3x
2x-2=3x
highlight%28x=-2%29
