Answer :

Answer:

n = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of exponents

[tex](a^m)^{n}[/tex] = [tex]a^{mn}[/tex]

Given

[tex](9)^{2n-1}[/tex] = [tex](27)^{n+2}[/tex], then

[tex](3^2)^{2n-1}[/tex] = [tex](3^3)^{n+2}[/tex]

[tex]3^{4n-2}[/tex] = [tex]3^{3n+6}[/tex]

Since the bases on both sides are equal, both 3 then equate the exponents

4n - 2 = 3n + 6 ( subtract 3n from both sides )

n - 2 = 6 ( add 2 to both sides )

n = 8

Answer:

n = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

9²ⁿ⁻¹ = 27ⁿ⁺²

(3²)²ⁿ⁻¹ = (3³)ⁿ⁺²

3⁴ⁿ⁻² = 3³ⁿ⁺⁶

4n - 2 = 3n + 6

4n - 3n = 6 + 2

n = 8
