Question 768089: how do I solve 3^3x=9
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3^3x = 9
3^3x = 3² {changed the 9 to have a base of 3 and an exponent of 2}
3x = 2 {since the bases are the same and the two expressions are equal, then the exponents are equal}
x = 2/3 {divided each side by 3}
