How would you solve this for x using logarithims? I tried but when I plugged my answer for x back into the equation it didn't work at all.

4^2x = 9^x-1

Take the log of each side:

2x/ log(4) = (x-1)/log (9)

solve for x.
That's how I started but then I got confused, but I think I get it now thanks.
