Solve:         9x - 2·3x - 63  =  0

Rewrite:  (32)x - 2·3x - 63  =  0

                  32x - 2·3x - 63  =  0

Factor:      (3x - 9)(3x + 7)  =  0

 

Either:     3x  =  9     --->     x  =  2

or:           3x  =  -7    --->    (no real solution)

we get (9^x)-2*(3^x)=63 by adding 63 to both sides and then we use elimination.Finally we get x=2 so the only way for x is 2
