Find the value of x .    9^x  = 6^x  + 4^x     Please help.

$${Find}\:{the}\:{value}\:{of}\:{x}\:. \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\mathrm{9}^{{x}} \:=\:\mathrm{6}^{{x}} \:+\:\mathrm{4}^{{x}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${Please}\:{help}. \\ $$

Divide by 4^x   ((9/4))^x =((6/4))^x +1  ((3/2))^(2x) −((3/2))^x −1=0  ((3/2))^x =u  u^2 −u−1=0  ⇒u=((1±(√5))/2)  for real x,u>0⇒u=((1+(√5))/2)  ((3/2))^x =((1+(√5))/2)  x(ln 3−ln 2)=ln (1+(√5))−ln 2  x=((ln (1+(√5))−ln 2)/(ln 3−ln 2))

$$\mathrm{Divide}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{4}^{{x}} \\ $$$$\left(\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{{x}} =\left(\frac{\mathrm{6}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{{x}} +\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}{x}} −\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{{x}} −\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{{x}} ={u} \\ $$$${u}^{\mathrm{2}} −{u}−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{u}=\frac{\mathrm{1}\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{real}\:{x},{u}>\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow{u}=\frac{\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{{x}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${x}\left(\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\right)−\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\right)−\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
