(9^x) - 3 = 2*3^x
(9^x) - 3 - (2*3^x) = (2*3^x) - (2*3^x)
(9^x) - (2*3^x) - 3 = 0
(3^2)^x - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
3^(2x) - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
3^(x*2) - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
(3^x)^2 - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
z^2 - 2*z - 3 = 0 ............ let z = 3^x
(z - 3)(z + 1) = 0
If z-3 = 0, then z = 3 when we isolate z
If z = 3, and z = 3^x, then
z = 3
3^x = 3
3^x = 3^1
x = 1
which is a solutin in terms of x
If z+1 = 0 then z = -1
If z = -1 and z = 3^x, then there are NO solutions for this part of the equation
The quantity 3^x is never negative no matter what the x value is

Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x - 15 ≥ 3 ( add 15 to both sides )
3x ≥ 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x ≥ 6
Since x is greater than or equal to 6 then 6 is a solution
The two numbers are 23 and 2
