Answer:

The answer is x = -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to start by using the slope formula with all of the information that we have.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

1 = (3 - -7)/(3 - x)

1 = 10/(3 - x)

Now we can use cross multiplication to solve for x.

1(3 -x) = 1(10)

3 - x = 10

-x = 7

x = -7

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=1\ \vee\ x=2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3^{2x}-4\cdot3^{x+1}+27=0\\\\\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\ \text{and}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\\left(3^x\right)^2-4\cdot3^x\cdot3^1+27=0\\\\\left(3^x\right)^2-12\cdot3^x+27=0\\\\\text{substitute}\ 3^x=t>0\\\\t^2-12t+27=0\\\\t^2-3t-9t+27=0\\\\t(t-3)-9(t-3)=0\\\\(t-3)(t-9)+0\iff t-3=0\ \vee\ t-9=0\\\\t-3=0\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\boxed{t=3}\\\\t-9=0\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\boxed{t=9}$
