1. Change the base of the second logarithmic term to base 3
logx9=log3xlog39=log3x2
2. Substitute into the equation and form a quadratic equation
Let y=log3x.
y−3(y2)=1
y−y6=1
y2−y−6=0
3. Solve the quadratic equation
(y−3)(y+2)=0
y=3 or y=−2
4. Solve for $x$ using the definition of logarithms
When y=3:
log3x=3⟹x=33=27
When y=−2:
log3x=−2⟹x=3−2=91
答案x=27 or x=91
