You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Instead of doing yours for you, here's an example 
exactly like yours step by step.  Use it as a model.

7%2810%29%5E%284x%2B9%29%22%22=%22%2242

Divide both side by 7

%2810%29%5E%284x%2B9%29%22%22=%22%226

Use the definition of common logs:

            10%5EA=B is equivalent to A=log%28B%29

4x%2B9%22%22=%22%22log%286%29
4x%22%22=%22%22log%286%29-9
x%22%22=%22%22%28log%286%29-9%29%2F4

Get a calculator:

x%22%22=%22%22%280.7781512504-9%29%2F4

x%22%22=%22%22-2.055462187

Now do yours exactly the same way.
