Question

If 9x+2 = 240 + 9x, then x =

Options

  • 0.5

  • 0.2

  • 0.4

  • 0.1

MCQ

Solution

We have to find the value of x 

Given  `9 ^(x+2) = 240 +9^x`

`9^x xx 9^2 = 240 +9^x`

`9^2 = 240/9^x + 9^x/9^x`

`81= 240/9^x+ 1`

`81- 1= 240/9^x`

`80 240/9^x`

`9^x  xx 80 = 240`

`9^x = 240/80`

`3^(2x )= 3`

`3^(2x )= 3^1`

By equating the exponents we get 

`2x = 1`

`x= 1/2`

`x= 0.5`
