Answer

Given,

(13)x=44346(13)x=256816(13)x=169(13)x=132x=2x=4.\Rightarrow (13)^{\sqrt{x}} = 4^4 - 3^4 - 6 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (13)^{\sqrt{x}} = 256 - 81 - 6 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (13)^{\sqrt{x}} = 169 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (13)^{\sqrt{x}} = 13^2 \\[1em] \therefore \sqrt{x} = 2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 4.

Hence, x = 4.
