Answer:


{9}^(x) / {81}^{ (2)/(x) } = 1


{9}^(x) * {81}^{ ( - 2)/(x) } = 1


{9}^(x) * { ({9}^(2)) }^{ ( - 2)/(x) } = 1


{9}^(x) * {9}^{ ( - 4)/(x) } = 1


{9}^{(x - (4)/(x)) } = 1


{9}^(0 ) = 1 \: \: \: \: \: (known)

Equating the exponents


x - (4)/(x) = 0


\frac{ {x}^(2) - 4 }{x} = 0


{x}^(2) = 4 \\ x = + 2 \: or \: 2
