The answer is D.
You have to make the whole numbers equal to then solve for the exponents:
F(x) means y, therefore, y is 9.
9 = 3^x.
3^2 is the same as 9.
Then, 3^2 = 3^x.
Then solve for the exponents,
2 = x
Therefore your answer is 2.
If you would like to solve the equation b^2 + 9 * b + 18 = 0 for the variable b, you can do this using the following step:
b^2 + 9 * b + 18 = 0
(b + 3) * (b + 6) = 0
Result:
1. solution: b = - 3
2. solution: b = - 6
Answer:
The answer to the equation should be -2
6n2 - 6n - 6n + 6
= 6n2 - 12n + 6
