7.Use the like-bases property and exponents to solve the equation $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{x+9}=3^{2 x+3}$
The solution to the equation is \(\boxed{-4}\).
Step 1 :Rewrite the bases in a similar form. We can rewrite 1/3 as \(3^{-1}\) and then apply the properties of exponents to simplify the equation.
Step 2 :Equating the exponents of the similar bases, we get the equation \(-x - 9 = 2x + 3\).
Step 3 :Solving this equation for x, we get the solution \(x = -4\).
Step 4 :Substituting \(x = -4\) into the original equation, we find that both sides of the equation are equal.
Step 5 :The solution to the equation is \(\boxed{-4}\).
