Answer

$x=81$

Work Step by Step

We have to solve the logarithmic equation $\log_{2}(\log_{3}x)=2$. We will rewrite it in exponential form: $\log_{a}b=c\Rightarrow b=a^c$. $\log_3 x=2^2$ $\log_3 x=4$ Rewrite this equation is exponential form: $x=3^4=81$ Check if the solution is valid: $\log_2(\log_3 81)=\log_2(\log_3 (3^4))=\log_2 4=\log_2 (2^2)=2\checkmark$
