log 3 (3^(x+1) – 18) = 2
3^(log 3 (3^(x+1) – 18)) = 3^2
3^(x+1) – 18 = 9
3^(x+1) = 27
log 3 (3^(x+1) = log 3 (27)
x+1 = 3
x = 2

4 less steps.

Just for shits and giggles when they doubt themselves over and over again. I would rather have the password NOT the answer. Just for shits and giggles when they doubt themselves over and over again.

It's not log base 3, it's log base 10 of 3(x^(x+1)-18). x=(ln((100/3)+18)/ln3)-1. Psh, both of you guys got it wrong. It’s not log base 3, it’s log base 10 of 3(x^(x+1)-18).

x=(ln((100/3)+18)/ln3)-1.

I would make the problem more like finding the function of the normal plane to a point on a conic surface. ;) psh still dealing with single variable math?

log 3 (3^(x+1) – 18) = 2
3^2 = 3^(x+1) – 18
9 = 3^(x+1) – 18
3^(x+1) = 9 + 18
3^(x+1) = 27
3^(x+1) = 3^3
x+1 = 3
x = 3 – 1
x = 2
