Answer

$x \approx 3.2619$

Work Step by Step

\begin{align*} \log{3^x}&=\log{36} &\text{Take the common logarithm of both sides.}\\\\ x\cdot \log{3} &= \log{36} &\text{Use the Power Property of Logarithms.}\\\\ \frac{x\cdot \log{3}}{\log3} &= \frac{\log{36}}{\log3} &\text{Divide $\log{3}$ to both sides.}\\\\ x &= \frac{\log{36}}{\log3} \\\\ x &\approx 3.2619 &\text{Evaluate using a calculator.}\\\\ \end{align*}
