Question

If `27^x=9/3^x,` find x.

Advertisements

Solution

We are given `27^x=9/3^x`

We have to find the value of x

Since `(3^3)^x=3^2/3^x`

By using the law of exponents `a^m/a^n=a^(m-n)` we get,

`3^(3x)=3^(2-x)`

on equating the exponents we get,

3x = 2 - x

3x + x = 2

4x = 2

x = 2/4

x = 1/2

Hence, `x=1/2`
