Solve for
\[x\].
\[\dfrac{9^{x}}{9^3}=9^5\]
\[x=\]
1 answer
Using the properties of exponents, we have \[\frac{9^x}{9^3} = 9^5.\] Writing both sides with a common base, we have \[9^{x-3} = 9^5.\] Taking the logarithm of both sides with base 9, we have \[x-3 = 5.\] Adding 3 to both sides gives \[x = \boxed{8}.\]
