Question
If $3^{\text{x}+1}=9^{\text{x}-2},$ find the value of $2^{1+\text{x}}.$

Answer
$3^{\text{x}+1}=9^{\text{x}-2}$
$\Rightarrow3^\text{x}\times3=9^\text{x}\times9^{-2}$
$\Rightarrow3^\text{x}\times3=(3^2)^\text{x}\times\frac{1}{9^2}$
$\Rightarrow3^\text{x}\times3=3^{2\text{x}}\times\frac{1}{(3^2)^2}$
$\Rightarrow3^\text{x}\times3\times3^{2\text{x}}\times\frac{1}{3^4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{3^{2\text{x}}}{3^\text{x}}=3\times3^4$
$\Rightarrow3^{2\text{x}-\text{x}}=3^5$
$\Rightarrow3^\text{x}=3^5$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=5$
$\Rightarrow2^{1+\text{x}}=2^{1+5}=2^6=64$
$\Rightarrow3^\text{x}\times3=9^\text{x}\times9^{-2}$
$\Rightarrow3^\text{x}\times3=(3^2)^\text{x}\times\frac{1}{9^2}$
$\Rightarrow3^\text{x}\times3=3^{2\text{x}}\times\frac{1}{(3^2)^2}$
$\Rightarrow3^\text{x}\times3\times3^{2\text{x}}\times\frac{1}{3^4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{3^{2\text{x}}}{3^\text{x}}=3\times3^4$
$\Rightarrow3^{2\text{x}-\text{x}}=3^5$
$\Rightarrow3^\text{x}=3^5$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=5$
$\Rightarrow2^{1+\text{x}}=2^{1+5}=2^6=64$

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction. All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are $200 \ m$ apart. There are $5$ streets in each direction. Using $1\ cm = 200 \ m$, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North-South direction and another in the East-West direction. Cross street is referred to in this manner: If the 2nd street running in the North-South direction and 5th in the East-West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street $(2, 5)$. Using this convention, find: how many cross - streets can be referred to as $(3, 4).$
