x=19x=19

Explanation:

Given

9^(x-2) × 3^(2x-2)/(27^(x+3))=819x2×32x227x+3=81

Now,we can write, 9^(x-2)=3^(2(x-2))=3^(2x-4)9x2=32(x2)=32x4

Also, 27^(x+3)=3^(3(x+3))=3^(3x+9)27x+3=33(x+3)=33x+9

Now using the above modifications, we can write the entire equation as,

3^(2x-4)×3^(2x-2)/3^(3x+9)=8132x4×32x233x+9=81

Or, 3^(2x-4+2x-2-3x-9)=3^432x4+2x23x9=34

Or, 3^(x-15)=3^43x15=34

So, comparing we can write,

x-15=4x15=4

Or, x=19x=19

Explanation:

9^(x-2)*3^(2x-2)-:27^(x+3)=819x232x2÷27x+3=81

:.(3^2)^(x-2)*3^(2x-2)-:(3^3)^(x+3)=3^4

:.3^(2x-4)*3^(2x-2)-:3^(3(x+3))=3^4

:.(3^(4x-6))/(3^(3x+9))=3^4

:.3^(4x-6-3x-9)=3^4

:.3^(x-15)=3^4

:.x-15=4

:.x=15+4

:.x=19
