If 3x = 81, find
i. x
ii. 3x + 3
iii. 3x/2
iv. 32x
v. 3x – 6
i. 3x = 81
⇒ 3x = 34 (∵ 34 = 81)
⇒ x = 4 (∵ base is same)
ii. 3x + 3 = 34 + 3
⇒ 3x + 3 = 37
⇒ 3x + 3 = 3× 3× 3× 3× 3× 3× 3
⇒ 3x + 3 = 2187
iii. ![]()
![]()

iv. 32x = 32×4
⇒ 32x = 38
⇒ 32x = 3 × 3× 3× 3× 3× 3× 3× 3
⇒ 32x = 6561
v. 3x – 6 = 34 – 6
⇒ 3x – 6 = 3–2
