3  - 2*3  - 2 = 7
$$\left(- 2 \cdot 3^{x} + 3^{x}\right) - 2 = 7$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\left(- 2 \cdot 3^{x} + 3^{x}\right) - 2 = 7$$
or
$$\left(\left(- 2 \cdot 3^{x} + 3^{x}\right) - 2\right) - 7 = 0$$
or
$$- 3^{x} = 9$$
or
$$3^{x} = -9$$
- this is the simplest exponential equation
Do replacement
$$v = 3^{x}$$
we get
$$v + 9 = 0$$
or
$$v + 9 = 0$$
Move free summands (without v)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$v = -9$$
We get the answer: v = -9
do backward replacement
$$3^{x} = v$$
or
$$x = \frac{\log{\left(v \right)}}{\log{\left(3 \right)}}$$
The final answer
$$x_{1} = \frac{\log{\left(-9 \right)}}{\log{\left(3 \right)}} = \frac{\log{\left(9 \right)} + i \pi}{\log{\left(3 \right)}}$$
