$${ 6 }^{ x } =216$$

$x=3$

Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.

$$6^{x}=216$$

Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.

$$\log(6^{x})=\log(216)$$

The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.

$$x\log(6)=\log(216)$$

Divide both sides by $\log(6)$.

$$x=\frac{\log(216)}{\log(6)}$$

By the change-of-base formula $\frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right)$.

$$x=\log_{6}\left(216\right)$$

$x=\frac{2\pi n_{1}i}{\ln(6)}+3$
$n_{1}\in \mathrm{Z}$
