Answer:

n=1/2 after being simplified

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Division Distributive Property:

9^n-1=1/3^4n-1 then convert both sides to the same base

3^2(n-1) = 3^-(4n-1)

cancel the base of 3 on both sides

2(n-1) = -4n+1

then expand 2n-2=-4n+1

add 2 to both sides 2n=4n+1+2

simplify: -4n+1+2 to -4n+3

2n=-4n+3

add 4n to both sides: 2n+4n=3

simplify: 2n+4n to 6n

6n=3

divide both sides by 6

n=3/6

simplify and n=1/2
