Which of the following is the solution to the equation 3^X+9=81^X a) x=-6
b)x=6
c)x=-3
d)x=3

9514 1404 393

  d)  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation resolves to a quartic equation in (3^x). It has a solution near ...

  x = 0.541770946714

__

Perhaps you want the solution to ...

  3^(x+9) = 81^(x)

Rewriting in powers of 3, this is ...

  3^(x+9) = (3^4)^x = 3^(4x)

Taking logarithms base 3 gives ...

  x +9 = 4x

  9 = 3x . . . . . . subtract x

  3 = x . . . . . . . divide by 3 . . . . matches choice D

Additional comment

The Order of Operations requires that exponential terms be evaluated before addition and subtraction. That means (3^x) must be evaluated before the sum (3^x) + 9. If you want the sum of x and 9 to be evaluated first, it must be in parentheses: 3^(x+9).

In typeset equations, the superscript font serves to group parts of the exponent. In plain text, a grouping symbol (parentheses) must be used.

answer rather than having to add and subtract the measurements of the semi-circle, notice that the semicircle to the left of ad is actually identical in area to the blank semicircle-shaped space to the left of bc. so if we transferred the red semicircle into the blank space, we would end up with a square of side length 24 cm. the area of a square is s^2 = 24^2 = 676 cm^2.

u also answered this so i think u would know but i am here to

put in or use mine

nope.   happens to me as well.
