Let the exponential equation be [tex]3^{2x-4}=9^{2x+6}[/tex].
The solution of this exponential equation is x = -8.
Here, we have to find the value of x to solve the equation.
In questions like these, first we try to make the base of the exponent same.
Here, the bases are 3 and 9.
We know that, [tex]3^{2}=9[/tex]
Hence, we can rewrite the equation as:-
[tex]3^{2x-4}=3^{2(2x+6)}\\\\3^{2x-4}=3^{4x+12}\\\\[/tex]
Now, our bases are same, that is 3,
Now, we can compare the data given in the power of the bases.
Hence,
2x - 4 = 4x + 12
Now, the question is reduced to a linear equation which we can solve easily.
4x - 2x = - 4 - 12
2x = -16
x = -16/2
x = -8
