(1/9)^m = 81^m + 4
Homework Equations
I know how to do a similar equation:
9^2p = 27^p-1
3^4p = 3^3p-1
cancel out the 3's because the base is the same.
4p = 3p-1
-3p -3p
1p = -1
The Attempt at a Solution
I know how to do ones like that but when it comes to this I start to struggle with fractions. :'(.
I'm totally lost and can't even make an attempt to this equation. I'm not asking for the answer but just a maybe the first step or something to get me on the right path.
