\frac{1}{36}\times 6^{2n+1}=216
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
6^{2n+1}=7776
Multiply both sides by 36.
\log(6^{2n+1})=\log(7776)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
\left(2n+1\right)\log(6)=\log(7776)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
2n+1=\frac{\log(7776)}{\log(6)}
Divide both sides by \log(6).
2n+1=\log_{6}\left(7776\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
2n=5-1
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.
n=\frac{4}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
