Answer

$\dfrac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Recall: $$\log_a{b}-\log_a{c}=\log_a{\left(\frac{b}{c}\right)}$$ Thus, the given expression is equivalent to: $$=\log_9{\left(\frac{27}{9}\right)}=\log_9{3}=\log_9{\left(9^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)}$$ Recall: $$\log_a{(a^n)}=n$$ Hence, $$\log_9{\left(9^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)}=\frac{1}{2}$$ Therefore, $$\log_9{27}-\log_9{9}=\frac{1}{2}$$
