Solution Steps

Solution Approach
  1. Recognize that the given equation is a logarithmic equation.
  2. Rewrite the logarithmic equation in its exponential form.
  3. Solve for \( x \) by calculating the exponentiation.
Step 1: Rewrite the Logarithmic Equation

The given logarithmic equation is

\[ \log_{6}(x) = 2 \]

To rewrite this equation in exponential form, we use the definition of logarithms, which states that if

\[ \log_{b}(a) = c \]

then

\[ a = b^{c} \]

Applying this to our equation, we have:

\[ x = 6^{2} \]

Step 2: Calculate the Value of \( x \)

Now, we compute \( 6^{2} \):

\[ x = 36 \]

Final Answer

The solution to the logarithmic equation is

\[ \boxed{x = 36} \]
