9^{x+4}=6561
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
\log(9^{x+4})=\log(6561)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
\left(x+4\right)\log(9)=\log(6561)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
x+4=\frac{\log(6561)}{\log(9)}
Divide both sides by \log(9).
x+4=\log_{9}\left(6561\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
x=4-4
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
