I am suspicious that the question was not copied correctly but here is the answer for this question.

3 x+ 2 + 9 x + 1 = 810

3 x+ (3 2) x +3 = 810

3 x + (3 x ) 2+ 3 = 810

(3 x) 2 + (3 x) -807 = 0

let y=3 x

y 2 + y -807 = 0

Using the quadratic formuls you end up with

y = [-1 +- sqr(3229)] / 2

y-2 = [-5 +- sqr(3229)] / 2
so
3 x - 2 = [-5 +- sqr(3229)] / 2

Which bit is 3^x-3 ?

Do you still need help or is it all sorted now?
