By the exponents properties, you know that:

You can rewrite 16 and 9 as following:

16=4²

9=3²

Therefore, you can rewrite the left side of the equation has following:

 As the base are equal, then:

Solve for x:

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
