1/27 = 3^(-3)
3^(3x+6) = 3^(-3)
When bases are the same, all you need to do is set the exponents equal to each other:
3x+6 = -3
3x = -9
x = -3
The answer is <span>64 apples, 96 oranges, and 12 pears.</span>
Let's represent the fruit as following:
a - the number of apples,
o - the number of oranges,
p - the number of pears.

⇒

⇒


⇒

<span>⇒

</span>
Therefore:

Now, if

, then:


Since

, 9p can be expressed as 27/3p:


⇒

⇒ p = 12
There are 12 pears.
Since o = 8p, o = 96:
o = 8 × 12 = 96
There are 96 oranges.
Since

, a = 64:

There are 64 apples.
Therefore, there are 64 apples, 96 oranges, and 12 pears.
They are not equal they are not complementary angles or any other equality.
