5×3^x ×2^x −3×2^x ×2^x =2×3^x ×3^x   a=2^x    b=3^x   5ab−3a^2 =2b^2   3a^2 −5ab+2b^2 =0  3a^2 −3ab−2ab+2b^2 =0  3a(a−b)−2b(a−b)=0  (a−b)(3a−2b)=0  either a−b=0  a=b  2^x =3^x   ((2/3))^x =1=((2/3))^0   so x=0  or when  3a−2b=0  3×2^x =2×3^x   (2^x /3^x )=(2/3)  ((2/3))^x =((2/3))^1    so x=1  hence x is either 0 or 1

$$\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{3}^{{x}} ×\mathrm{2}^{{x}} −\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{2}^{{x}} ×\mathrm{2}^{{x}} =\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{3}^{{x}} ×\mathrm{3}^{{x}} \\ $$$${a}=\mathrm{2}^{{x}} \:\:\:{b}=\mathrm{3}^{{x}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}{ab}−\mathrm{3}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{2}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{5}{ab}+\mathrm{2}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{3}{ab}−\mathrm{2}{ab}+\mathrm{2}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{a}\left({a}−{b}\right)−\mathrm{2}{b}\left({a}−{b}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left({a}−{b}\right)\left(\mathrm{3}{a}−\mathrm{2}{b}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${either}\:{a}−{b}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${a}={b} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}^{{x}} =\mathrm{3}^{{x}} \\ $$$$\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{{x}} =\mathrm{1}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{0}} \:\:{so}\:{x}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${or}\:{when} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{a}−\mathrm{2}{b}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{2}^{{x}} =\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{3}^{{x}} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{2}^{{x}} }{\mathrm{3}^{{x}} }=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{{x}} =\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{1}} \:\:\:{so}\:{x}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${hence}\:{x}\:{is}\:{either}\:\mathrm{0}\:{or}\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$
