Solve 3^x−5 = 9. please

Assuming the -5 is with the x

You have 3^(x-5) =9

Convert the 9 to base 3: 3^2 = 9

Now you have:

3 ^(x-5) = 3^2

Now solve for exponents:

X-5= 2

Add 5 to both sides:

X = 7

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
