    3 to the power of 2 times 3 to the power of x equals 3 to the power of 7.

    Write this out:
    3^2 * 3^x = 3^7

    When we multiply matching coefficients, we add exponents, so we have:
    3^(2 + x) = 3^7

    Therefore, 2 + x = 7. To solve this equation for x, we type it into our search engine and we get:
    x = 5
