(4/9)x + (6/9)x - 1 = 0

or (2/3)2x + (2/3)x - 1 = 0

Put (2/3)x = y

So, y2 + y - 1 = 0

y = (-1 + (5)1/2) / 2

or, (2/3)x = (-1 + (5)1/2) / 2

Taking log on both sides,

x log(2/3) = log (-1 + (5)1/2) - log(2)

x = [ log (-1 + (5)1/2) - log(2) ] / [ log(2/3) ] (Ans)............


The best changes often start as a single, simple thought. Think big, and discover the ways to make your dreams real.
