27\times 3^{n+2}=243
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
3^{n+2}=9
Divide both sides by 27.
\log(3^{n+2})=\log(9)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
\left(n+2\right)\log(3)=\log(9)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
n+2=\frac{\log(9)}{\log(3)}
Divide both sides by \log(3).
n+2=\log_{3}\left(9\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
n=2-2
Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
