Answer:

x=-9

Explanation:

(square root 6)^8x= 216^(x-3)

Rewriting sqrt(6) as 6^1/2

6^1/2^8x = 216^(x-3)

We know a^b^c = a^(b*c)

6^(1/2*8x) = 216^(x-3)

6^(4x) = 216^(x-3)

We know 216 = 6^3

6^(4x) = 6^3^(x-3)

We know a^b^c = a^(b*c)

6^(4x) = 6^(3*(x-3))

6^(4x) = 6^(3x-9)

Since the bases are the same, the exponents have to be the same

4x = 3x-9

Subtract 3x from each side

4x-3x =3x-3x-9

x = -9
