Explanation
## Step 1: Rewrite 81 as a power of 9### We can rewrite 81 as
. The equation becomes
.## Step 2: Equate the exponents### Since the bases are equal, the exponents must be equal. Therefore,
.## Step 3: Solve for x### Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:
. This simplifies to
.## Step 4: Rewrite the equation with a common base### We can rewrite 64 and 16 as powers of 4:
and
. The equation becomes
.## Step 5: Simplify the left side using exponent rules### When multiplying exponential terms with the same base, we add the exponents:
.## Step 6: Equate the exponents and solve for x### Since the bases are equal, the exponents must be equal:
. Subtract 3 from both sides:
. Divide by 3:
.## Step 7: Rewrite the equation with a common base of 2### We can rewrite
as
and 64 as
. The equation becomes
.## Step 8: Simplify the left side using exponent rules### When multiplying exponential terms with the same base, we add the exponents:
, which simplifies to
.## Step 9: Equate the exponents and solve for x### Since the bases are equal, the exponents must be equal:
. Add
to both sides:
. Subtract 2 from both sides:
. Divide by 3:
