Solving exponential equations with a common base problem in the picture!

<u>Given</u>:

The given expression is 18^{x^{2}+4 x+4}=18^{9 x+18}

We need to determine the solution of the given expression.

<u>Solution</u>:

Let us solve the exponential equations with common base.

Applying the rule, if a^{f(x)}=a^{g(x)} then f(x)=g(x)

Thus, we have;

x^{2}+4 x+4=9 x+18

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 9x, we get;

x^{2}-5 x+4=18

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 18, we have;

x^{2}-5 x-14=0

Factoring the equation, we get;

x^2-7x+2x-14=0

Grouping the terms, we have;

(x^2-7x)+(2x-14)=0

Taking out the common term from both the groups, we get;

x(x-7)+2(x-7)=0

Factoring out the common term (x - 7), we get;

(x+2)(x-7)=0

x+2=0 \ and \ x-7=0

   x=-2 \ and \ x=7

Thus, the solution of the exponential equations is x = -2 and x = 7.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
